Total Alignment Day 4 Self Expression

let it begin in the throat and reverb on down into every part of my body - shake it off girlie.

Happy Feet

i had the best time this morning after watching Connie's Total Alignment Self-Expression class dancing all round to the Beach Boys song Good Vibrations.  happy feet dancing in the sunlight coming through my window blinds.
ps - forgot to say my son and his friend came in while i was dancing and singing - they thought i lost my marbles. danced on!

BIG-TotalAlignment Day 3- Energy

                                                          Skeleton Boy Hoop Dancer

i will have a skeleton family group of mascots for my BIG Total Alignment when this week is over. i never do death symbols of any kind in my art.  but for some reason i keep thinking of Freda Kahlo and the Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead culture.  today's day began with music My Heads Spinning, i loved dancing and moving to this song and a few others while painting Energizing in Connie's Alignment class.

BIG-Total Alignment Day 2 - Balance

                                                          Fearless 7BIG Tribal Mascot

connie's day 2 - Balance brought out the tribal skeleton man again.  and here he is. his chest cavity has changed slight shape into a sacred dance shawl. can you see it - he has perfect inner balance. connie's Total Alignment class is free for 5 days - so check out her blog.

Going BIG - Member of 7th Tribe

connie over at Dirty Footprints has a Total Alignment class for free this week and she's getting the 7th Tribe psyched up to begin next week. after watching her heart creation this is mine. i think i am going to name him Skeletal Remains. i love the serendipitous moment one color side began to bleed down and the other remained controlled, fitted into the rib cage. i won't remain a split personality on butcher paper

and she wants us to pick a new journal for BIG.  i went searching through mine and here is what i came up with - a gift from one son last Christmas. genuine italian leather and boy does it smell the part. Now i am ready to begin BIG!

Clothes Line Fresh

 my son hangs all his clothes, never drying bc they would shrink - eegads - i have on occasion forgotten and put youngest son's shirts in dryer - being 6'3" he needs all the length he can get.

and here is my sketch of my backyard with carved family initials in the tree. the feather another find from a little birdies' fight with our local hawks. sketch named Tender Lovin' Care. my sons played basketball for hours in the backyard when they were younger, now its kickin' soccer ball for doggie to chase.

one of my assignments for my class in GA this month is to sketch/draw every day. i thought it would be hard but its enjoyable and interesting the things i am sketching and watercolor painting.

Basket Nest

 i found this little basket nest had fallen from a tree in my son's backyard.

really i don't think a human could make a more beautiful basket.  wonder what kind of bird was nesting?
