drawing challenge: earthly




sometimes I have to go back to the beginning
to get clear what is important for me
my two feet firmly on the earth and know that it is good
that it's enough
that I can on the beach on a stormy day
or in the mountains at the top of the world
than I need so little....

I wanted to make a symbol to help me remember
used a branch and some clay as earth, soil
earthly
earthen
(the shadow a small gift!)

look at all those participants from around the earth!!
thank you all so much for taking part

drawing challenge: aards

soms moet ik even terug naar het begin
om duidelijk te krijgen wat belangrijk is voor mij
m'n beide voeten stevig op de aarde en weten dat het goed is
dat het genoeg is
dat lukt me aan zee op een stormachtige dag
of in de bergen op de top van de wereld
dan heb ik maar zo weinig nodig....

ik wilde een symbool maken om me te helpen herinneren
gebruikte een tak en wat klei als aarde
aards
aarden
(de schaduw een kadootje!)

  6. I love 'than i need so little...'
    and you needed little here to create touching images,
    the branch so well chosen, feet(they look like dancing) and the pebbles (i am a pebble viewer too)
    every time you learn me this simple can have great and wonderful effects, especially the way you do it, x

  10. Patrice! Your earthly feet are stunning and simple and clever indeed!
    I often forget about the earth and only look towards the sea and sky. The earth grounds me. Thank you for the lovely theme.

  13. Dear Patrice,
    great work! so very basically. Love it!

    Do you know the Traditional Chinese Medicine with its energy gates? There are under each of our feet a point calls 'rich source' or 'gushing spring'.

    Thank you for these challenge. Reminds me on Mother earth and the engergy. All's well.

    Love,
    x Ariane.

  20. Dear Patrice,
    I've reseived a mail from Norma. Coming over Stefanie Seltner she would like to join our challenge. She's already done a wonderful painting here: http://www.thefairyyellowbugqueen.blogspot.ca/2012/04/horse-feathers.html

    Maybe you put her on your list? and I'll tell her to link back to you. Okay?

    Any ideas of a new host this weekend?

    Love,
    x Ariane.
