Trick of the eye by cheeky

2007-11-30T16:46:00.001Z

As I look at this flower

what do I see?

I see

the beauty of your face

The long and slender stems define

your beautiful structure

The fullness of your lips

tender and soft like petals

Your cute little butterfly nose

twitching in the breeze

Leaves curl around contributing to the

distinct shape of your wonderful eyes

So what do I see?

when I look at this flower

I see you

the prettiest flower there is.

Pirate Cove by cheeky

2007-11-30T16:19:00.000Z

Thank you cheeky, I am deeply honoured you have chosen to combine our arts, I look forward to working with you and know this is the start of meeting of artistic mind and soul.

Amongst the silvery seas

In the shadows of the rock

Looking through into the cove

I blink and a ship appears

A pirate ship I so do believe

Sailing under the sun

Venturing out all alone

A spectacular sight

Oh! The tales she could tell

The secrets she must hold

Many thrills she will have given

Conquering all in her way

Full of Golden jewels

That will sparkle in the night

Shining like the stars

Her bountiful treasure

Pirate's Cove

2007-08-28T00:51:00.000+01:00

I have learnt a new technique for making a water wash so decide Pirate's cove was the perfect picture to try it out on and I have to say I love the result. Thanks Frank Clark.

I adore wolves and this is my first attempt at creating a painting of one thus combining two of my passions. Happy with the body face is sooooo wrong!!!

Audrey

2007-08-17T15:41:00.001+01:00

Audrey Hepburn has been a iconic Diva of mine for at least 30 years and it is always a pleasure to spend time with her as I try and fail to capture her beauty. One day I’ll get it right until then it is pure pleasure to paint her.

Imprisoned

2007-08-01T11:46:00.001+01:00

A reflection in watercolour of my last bout with bipolar. I felt like a prisoner within me and no matter which direction I tried to go in it hurt like hell. Actually working this has proven to be a really useful way of accepting this aspect of me.

Bedtime Reading

2007-06-29T20:47:00.001+01:00

The elegance and poise only a woman can hold in any setting. Here she is reading before retiring for a night of peaceful sleep, yet she still maintains her poise and grace.

'For attractive lips, speak words of kindness
.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.' -- Audrey Hepburn

Dancing Mermaid

2007-06-29T20:45:00.000+01:00

Mermaids or Sirens entice with their music and beauty luring sailors to the depths of the sea with a promise of exotic passion. Their power to intoxicate the mind and take as they will yet maintain that alluring beauty is simply awesome.

Raindrop

2007-06-29T18:06:00.000+01:00

After a long period of unrelenting summer heat that first rainfall on the skin is nothing short of divine. To lift your face into that rainfall is exquisite. Simple natural pleasure.

Chocolate Box

2007-06-29T17:54:00.000+01:00

This painting I did as part of a women's art group. Landscapes and things that grow are not really my strong point but all practice helps.

I actually have given it to my mum as it reminds me of her lounge. Personally I would have liked to put a cat sleeping on the patio as they do and maybe I should have done.

The reason I called it chocolate box is it reminds me of when a box of the yummy stuff would come with a pretty picture on the lid. I'm sure this would have been the sort of thing on a box of Dairy Milk, not that I would know as I'm a Black Magic fan.

Avebury Winter

2007-06-29T17:50:00.001+01:00

Ninety miles west of London and twenty miles north of Stonehenge stands Avebury, the largest known stone ring in the world. Older than the more famous Stonehenge, and for many visitors far more spectacular, the multiple rings of Avebury are cloaked with mysteries which archaeologists have only begun to unravel.

No one's really sure how long ago humans recognized the winter solstice and began heralding it as a turning point -- the day that marks the return of the sun.

The word solstice means standing still and those stones standing at Avebury give many including myself a sense of stillness and peace.

Flowing Silk

2007-06-29T17:45:00.001+01:00

I love painting the female form. All women are beautiful and a pleasure to capture on paper or canvas. I also love the way silk seems to move and have a will of its own. So I tend to combine the two.

In 'Flowing Silk' the fabric is caught by a breeze and seems to want to wrap around the woman in a gentle embrace. I painted this when I was in a real romantic mood which isn't often as I tend to me more down to earth as far as that goes.

I wanted the figure to seem lost in thought and apparently blissfully unaware of the silk even tho she has it grasped in her hand.

Sunkissed

2007-06-28T21:57:00.000+01:00

My painting of a mermaid letting the sun kiss her face is dedicated to my special lady Gemmy, with love always. Gemmy is not only my girlfriend but also my inspiration for my mermaids hence they tend to be evocative and sensual just like her.

The tales of the sirens entrapping the unaware with their beauty and song is no lie. I'm caught, hooked and landed by my Dorset babe.

Sea Princess

2007-06-28T21:51:00.000+01:00

The sea lapping at her tail the princess of the sea gazes soulfully into her looking glass as she rests on a lonely rock. 'Sea Princess' is one of my many mermaid and aqua folk depictions, inspired by my many visits to Copenhagen, the home of the original story of the 'Little Mermaid' and her statue as she sits on a rock, and my love of the light fantastic.
