if: Cultivate (Listening)


I painted this image a few months ago and named it "Listening". When I was working on it I was thinking about cultivating deep listening, both internally and externally. It is painted on wood with acrylics and color pencils.

  1. This is serene and ghostly. I love the pale face and hair atop a fading shroud against wood grain.

    Just beautiful. Good work.

  2. I really like how the texture of the wood continues into the painting!
    You asked for tips on using watercolours, and while I'm terribly flattered by that, I don't really do a lot of watercolours but here's someone who does it beautifully: http://cristinaswatercolors.blogspot.com/ and since you like cute stuff, Shirley does the most adorable scenes with watercolours: http://shirleysillustrations.blogspot.com/

  3. It seems such a poetic piece, especially since it is dedicated to deep listening. It looks as if it's printed on a tree, the greatest listeners of the world! Beautiful!

  5. Claudia,
    Your work is WONDERFUL! I'm so glad you stopped my blog—there are sooo many IF artists, I might not have stumbled on your work and I'm so glad I visited! Love your humor, sensitivity, and just pure adorableness not to mention your style. Lovely! Now I can't wait to see what you do with "toy"...
