...and now for something a bit different than you usually see from me. What? Is there actually a person...err...bird....err... woman who's very fond of birds, in some art of mine? You betcha.
I started this art journal spread several years ago, but it never felt finished, so I doodled on it a bit more. Still not done. I added the words "Be daring. Be unique. Just be you".
It still wasn't quite done.
Finally I gave in to the idea that was wanting to be manifest every time I'd look at her... she wanted a feathered collar so very badly but I kept ignoring her thinking ... yeah right... but finally after hearing her plea with me over the past few years (!!) I gave in.
And she was right. It was just what she needed to complete her statement.
I admire her style... her confidence... her passion.
Her bird
She's definitely daring and unique.
She's not afraid of being herself. Not afraid of what others might think.
I want to be just like her when I grow up ;-)

Oh yes, she definitely wanted that feather collar! It suits her. Great pages! I love this spread and your strong words!
I want to be like her too - she's gorgeous. I love all the details you have added and your words fit her perfectly.
I admire her--she's very cool!
And me! I want5 to be like her when I grow up too! She is so cool!
I like her extravagance, she reminds me of the masks at the Venice carnival... And yes, sometimes daring takes time! Thanks for your comment by the way ;)

Fabulous work! Again. Loving that feather collar. But more than that, the colours in this one really moved me. Thank-you for sharing.

Esther! this is fantastic! A sort of Phantom of the Opera in Tribal dress...so unique and powerful and strong.
WOW! I REALLY love this page SO much! The color is my favorite part, but I love the eyes, the white pen details, the real feather on the bird / head dress . . . . and the meaning behind it. It's totally worth the wait! xoxo
I meant to also thank you for my sweet comment - yes, I am journaling right now and it is very raw - and authentic in a way I never really have done (or knew to do) before. Thank you for your sweet attention and compliment! xoxo
Amazing. Positively love this. Although not the reason I am here. I am writing to say I am the VERY PROUD new owner of your painting, "Be Still." I received my BEAUTIFUL Painting today in the mail and could not be happier! Thank you so much Esther! It is amazing and I appreciate your mailing it so fast (internationally no less!). It's just a stunning piece of work and it's my absolute privilege to be its new owner. LOVE your work! Thank you, THANK YOU, THAANNNKKK YYYOOUUU!!
