Trees

If you were to draw a tree, what would it look like? Take a moment to find a pencil, pastel or other drawing pen and some paper. Without taking any time to ponder come up with an image of your tree. Love to hear from anyone that would like to share an image. I will post some up later with permission from those participating.

Dancing Feelings


When a feeling has no words to describe it. When thoughts are spiraling without any logic. The image expresses the moment, then gives time to move on.

The seven dwarves of Menopause



I was given this the other day to put up on this blog. I thought it was quite amusing. I am keen to draw the symptoms myself using this concept. Join me in the 7 dwarves of menopause and if you would like to put an image you have drawn or found on this blog get in touch with me.

Contained


The heart is symbolic of moral, spiritual and the emotional, the soul, the human mind and repesentational to love.

The word "contained" came from another blog spot - Illustration Friday. you can visit "static pencil" to see my drawing there too. I then thought about how contained one has to be sometimes when the body within is feeling totally illogical when hormones are raging or starting to change. I begun to draw the picture of this heart with the feelings that race around, the emotions that we keep hidden. A feeling of a whirl of energy within creating a need to manage how we feel when at times to either run away and be alone, a crazy desire to cry, shout, scream is trying to be contained. Then when we do say something that sounded sensible to you but to the other person listening didnt make sense, a feeling of more bewilderment and self talk. Is this familiar to you? My picture expresses for me the floating heart trying to keep calm and ride the waves of hormones once again as the pulsating heart swirls and spirals trying to catch me out in one of those moments that creep up during the month.
