Mystical, Magical Blues...

Ultramarine, cobalt, cerulean...I'm immersed in blue these days.

Artemis, the Goddess I chose for January's full wolf moon painting...

Chione, of February's full moon, Goddess of snow and daughter of the North Wind...

A footstool inspired by "Practical Magic"...

The funny thing is, I almost never wear blue. But painting is another story. Rich and restful colors, mesmerizing....like falling into a magical pool, mixing them becomes an an almost zen kind of process. Do you have a color that grabs you like that?

Look for more blues this weekend as I paint the first Easter piece of the season, a large platter with either rabbits or hares, and possibly a few other creatures (we'll see how it evolves).

In the meantime, I'm off to run the usual Saturday morning errands. Thanks as always for dropping by, and if you're on facebook, do drop by my page for more frequent updates!

Until next time,
♥ Carolee
