sore feet revisited

Sore Feet Revisited – © Sue O’Kieffe 2009

My lady with sore feet has come to life. I love her colorful, eclectic taste in clothes.( If you didn’t see her first incarnation, you can meet her here.

I had some fun memories with this, remembering long ago dreams of designing clothes (my Barbie had beautiful ball gowns decorated with hand-sewn beads). I must say, I do love my lady’s beautiful black leather heels with red leather and grey suede trim. Killer!

And that’s why her feet hurt!

Do you think she needs a background?

The contessa and the rock star kept just the right amount of space between them while they were getting to know each other.

I took some time off from doodling when it began to be a chore . Where’s the fun in that, I ask?

So now that Im back, I want to play with new stuff, and I definitely want a bigger playing field. Next on my list is to purchase a larger sketch book. I don’t like feeling cramped on the page.

This doodle is just about having fun with color and mixing up the media (in this case, prismacolor pencils and crayola watercolor are learning to play well together).

I wonder if somewhere there is a warehouse filled with authentic Berol prismacolor pencils? I don’t care for the new pencils manufactured by Sanford. Is there another brand you love just as well?

She liked the idea of striking a balance, but found she sometimes liked the tension that asymmetry created.   How about you?

The dragon became so tired of breathing fire and being feared, that he decided to breathe only flowers and love. Now that’s transformation!

light my fire

Light My Fire – © Sue O’Kieffe 2009

I was inspired to create this doodle after experiencing a really intense coaching session with the wonderful Laura Bly.

It feels so good to cast off all the negative energy that has clogged up the pores of my naturally positive self and throw it all in the funeral pyre. May the ashes be transformed to rise again just like the phoenix . Hot damn.

My own interpretation of this doodle is –  first the fire, then the rain to cool and relieve; sweet peace follows along with incredible growth.

(Unfortunately I can’t embed a music player on my blog to go along with this post. Wouldn’t that  be perfect to play Jim Morrison’s iconic song for Creative Every Day’s June theme of sound?)
