curiosity helps us
keep moving
forget problems
take one step
and then another
move forward
not backward
tread softly
respect the unknown
take chances
change the past
change the present
change the future
taste life's honey
feel free

raccoon meditation
 

(watercolour)

we pray before the hunt
listen to the buzz
nobody knows we're here
and that's the way we like it

Spring cubs
 

The Spring Cubs are so cute.........

Thank you BigJohn

curious bird and pot (watercolour)
 

It's been rainy and grey green so I needed some light and colour.
Hope you are having a lovely day.

All your paintings are so beautiful Uma. thanks for sharing.

Thank you mArIya

More forest friends (watercolour & pencil)
 

They are beautiful Uma as usual


Namaste

I really do love the 3rd and 4th one.

They bring to me the warmth and love of the pets I have had in the past. They touch on truisms of life.

Thank you both of you.

I miss my dog Big John. Life is not the same without pets.

I miss my last dog that past away. I still have her brother.... but not the same.

She had so much energy, very smart and she was truly, a beautiful dog.

I have a lot of fond memories from her.

intense
 

This was an experiment that didn't work out as intended but turned into something else....kind of the story of my life LOL.

but yet....... very revealing.

person of many marvels.

ram king?
 

I was just messing around when I turned it upside down and this manifested...again! I have been thinking of Aries lately.

Nice, healthy Ram........

Very good. What is next?

I love them.

Thank you. :smile: I don't know. These are my (almost) daily tonic. Will have to see.

Thanks for saying :hug:

All I can say is you are doing a good job.

Just keep up the good work.

aw sweet, thank you :smile:

new batch of small watercolour quick paintings
 

As summer fades and cool winds blow some things go to sleep and some things come alive!

Wonderful textures!

Beautiful as usual


Namaste

Thank you both! :smile:

life ebbs away

colours of the season
 

twilight

bison and friends

wolves born of mist
 

playing with paint and water and paper
a face emerges
and then another
and then another
and what it wants to be
just happens

bison looking at you
 

you just can never have too many bison :tongue:

Your painting of the man/God blowing into the face of an animal is very much tantalizing. If you look behind the man/God, there is an owl facing this way.

I see at least 3 other animals.

.............:biggrin: ..............🙏🏼

Beautiful Uma but like john,i see other animals in the same painting the Bison is stunning



Namaste

If you look closely, you will see a big raccoon drapping itself over the back of the head and down onto the person's shoulder.

These type of paintings can easily be used to give messages. I have shown people how to do candle messages but the messages are only shades of black and white.

evocation pastime
 

sifting through my junk what was admired is dust having served its purpose only the now is real

I hope those 4 chaps don't look backwards...... that person behind them is huge and his animal is huge also. That huge, long horn that animal has can be devastating.

Your painting reminds me of life...... a lot of times we do not look behind us....... and probably for a good reason we don't.

I always enjoy your interesting interpretations Big John.
