Motion and movement

 Hello creative friends

Flicking through unfinished journal pages I came 

across this rice paper image of two ballet dancers. 

How graceful they look, lost in the moment. 

Stencil marks surrounding them almost slows down their motion, 

calculating every movement. With gold stenciled gesso and gems 

it seems to add to the drama like a huge spotlight on stage.

I love how the white highlights track and trace their steps. 

The words *They gave no more thought* provokes emotion

for us to imagine their story through our own eyes... 

Wishing you well this weekend, 

Stay safe & creative

AJJ ~ The meaning of.. Winter

 Hello creative friends, 

So Winter begins.. frosty days and nights .. 

As a child every Christmas Eve i'd be taken to see 

the Christmas lights in the City and choose one present. 

Always a book or a set of felt tip pens.. 

 I used this napkin last December and remembered how taken 

Elizabeth was thinking I had drawn it, so thought i'd use it again. 

Can you see where the napkin finishes and where I begin..?? 

painting in a little toy shop there was always one on the high street full 

of dolls houses, the biggest of teddy bears and toys of children's dreams

Mesmerized by the twinkling lights, BIG show stopper star on the tree 

and the sweet cinnamon smells from the bakery filling the night air..

Wrapped up in my Winter coat, woolen mittens, scarf and hat 

I always hoped for a sprinkling of snow but it never came.. 

Warm winter wishes 

Tracey xx
