Mother Nature

Linda Callaghan

Mother Nature

This is a drawing I did on sketching paper about a year ago, 10×8 ”. I recently discovered it hiding away in a box and thought I would add some acrylic paints to bring it to life.

Paints brought drawing to life, but the earth has given life to all ….

From nature we abound
emerging slowly from the ground
to live our lives as best we can
then once again returning to the land…..

    There’s a nice flow in this painting/drawing Linda. Isn’t it fun to do these? I’ve been illustrating my book and adding these butterflies and figures in the margins of the design. Been a good change up.

    Cheers to you boiling people. Heard the temp was a bit of a scorcher today from Lynda Robinson.

    Wow….this is very different from your usual…I love it…you need to doodle and paint these doodles more often…fantastic:)

  • Linda Callaghan replied

    Hi Robin thank you very much…it did turn out to be more than a doodle, I used to sit and draw a bit when I got the urge, this was way before I picked up a paintbrush….was always nervous about doing people so was pleasantly surprised with this one! the paint livened it up too.x

    Ah, a fine sketch, drawn by your subconscious (from your description).
    I like the way the hand merges with the scarf, and the leg with the log, depicting mother nature.
