Description
I found myself among the dreams, again.I was lost in a hot, bright desert. No rain was in sight, so I followed the clouds. I passed many lush oases knowing they were simply islands in the wasteland. Just when I felt near to collapse, I saw their radiant wings. They looked to the sky and made it rain. From their whispers the forests grew.
"If you lose us you merely need to seek. Do not become afraid when surrounded by sand and emptiness. We are among the clouds, the winds."
Watercolor, 9X12 inches

I love the soft watercolor paints in this piece. The desert has its own unique beauty, and this artwork proves it.
It's such fun when an artwork you've done inspires another project. Have you thought of doing a leather mask of the second dream falcon? It's so lovely.
Mercedes Lackey's Owl Flight trilogy would be right up your alley with your love of birds of prey.

Ah...I love your work. There is something so ghostly and beautiful about this piece. The title is quite appropriate. I can't think of what more I can say. It's stunning.

So bright-eyed. One of the many wonderful things about birds.

This is one of my favorites from your gallery. I love the seamless blending of color throughout, and the intensity of the birds' eyes in contrast to the dreamlike quality of the rest of the painting.

This is so majestic, and utterly splendiferous (I don't care if that's not a word there's not another one that fit this) very good interpretation and blissfully expressive!

Very, very lovely! The soft colors of this watercolor are well chosen for how they look together, and the softness of the feathers contrasts so nicely with the jewels. Love how some of the feathers but not all have the textures showing, and the leaves with more intense value and details. Do you sell prints of this?

I think this piece shows some of the leaps and bounds you've made in your work over the years I've known you. It's really beautiful.. and I think it's telling... you 'sound' happier in yourself and it shows in your work. The colours and flow in this are gorgeous.

Stunning colours my dear! I admire the way you can manipulate watercolours so well! Did you use paints or pencils for this artwork?
Also have you ever read Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books? Your birds always remind me of her gryphons! ^_^
