May is upon us and she ushers in a season of beauty and appreciation of the sensual and colorful. Beltaine in the celtic tradition welcomed the beginning of summer gaiety and abundance ; the celebration of fertility and a time of coming together to share and enjoy renewal.
The imagery used in this collage comes from Luna Girl ( wonderful vintage image of Cleo de Merode), Lorie Davison, Holliewood at Deviant Art and artist papers blended for the background. I was inspired to create this piece as I flipped over all of my calendars; marvelling at how fast the days goes by and how each day seems so full yet so fleeting....

ReplyDeleteWow, this is beautiful! I love the richness of the colors and background, very impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to believe that the 1st quarter of the year has passed. May is one of my most favorite months -- it's as though the world is coming alive after a long winter's sleep. You've captured that feeling beautifully in this piece, Lori. Having just finished with my blogging break, I'm happy that I've stopped by today for a visit. You work is always an inspiration! Hugs, Terri xoxo

ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous piece as always dear Lori! A luscious background and you just can't go wrong with the beautiful Cleo. Stunning work.xx
ReplyDeleteI'm always trying to create that "saintly eye" look that you added to this collage in my paintings. She looks like she is in love with nature, as you surely are to have blended the woods along with this dreamy Beltaine girl.
