Lady of the Mist -Paint Party Friday

I am going to be away from my computer for a few days and it has been incredibly busy this week, hence I am re-posting a pen and ink drawing done when I was in the hospital for almost two weeks, being treated for MRSA. 

Whimsical memories of the Lady of the Mist come from my imaginative childhood.

I remember sometimes thick ropes of mist would visibly move through the trees of the forest next to our home. The mist would daintily coil above fields, and tiptoe through the blueberry bushes. Sometimes I thought I saw a lovely woman with soft trailing draperies wafting to and fro, in a silent elegant dance.

As an adult, my imagination is alive and well. Early summer mornings, I sometimes catch the Lady of the Mist gracefully twirling over the ripples of the river near where I live. I once watched her whisping through a grove of oak trees, murmuring to a flock of sheep sheltering there.

Except for the sheep (who are huddled out of sight in the thicket) this Pen and Ink was my imaginative rendition of The Lady of the Mist softly dancing among the towering oak trees.

Thank you for dropping by, sweet Friends.  You are such an encouragement to my heart!  Have a blessed weekend and Happy Paint Party Friday!

Wrapped in Mist -Guest Heart Thursday


A few weeks ago (on my birthday) my dear girl Rena married Luke, her own true love!  I am SO happy for her--she positively glows.  This watercolor painting is her wedding gift.  Of course, I have hidden a few hearts in her misty veil.



Above is my reference photo.  When I saw this wonderful photograph by Holly Butler of Roselynn Photography, I had to paint it!  

I had posted this painting earlier in the week, but for some reason, Blogger ATE it.  Since there are hearts hidden in her veil I thought it perfect for Guest Heart Thursday, so I re-posted it!
