Wendy
November 15th, 2008
I started playing with ink on wet watercolor paper, let it dry and then looked to see what I saw in the patterns. I saw a flying girl. When I began to draw her, she made me think of the story of Peter Pan when the children fly out the window. So, I'm calling her, "Wendy."
I spent the day with my dad and step-mom, having a delicious lunch and great conversation and now I'm rather zonked, so I'm going to leave it at that for tonight. More tomorrow!

I absolutely adore this – you’ve really caught the feeling of being able to fly – one of my very best fantasies!

I really like this. I love the colors and the flying Wendy. It’s an interesting technique too. I’ll have to add it to my “to try” list. Thanks for sharing it.

Wendy is so fairy-like. What magic will she make? I am sure she is a muse for the week. Making magic with ink. That’s what I think. I love her. Peter Pan was the first play my Aunt Madelyn took me to me see when I was 7. It was so nice.
