I was inspired to make this piece by this post . The text says "Strength, between the Tears and the Truth " .I am just playing with some pastels . I don't have many but I plan to remedy that;)
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

Wonderful sketches and the colors you used are very rich and blend so well together. I have tried pastels a few times and find I get as much or more on me as on the paper so I quit using them as I am so messy. Maybe I will try them again as I love the look you can achieve.
ReplyDeleteI think that smile(s) says so much, wonderful sketches
ReplyDeleteThat's a knowing smile she has.
ReplyDeleteLove it
