Goddess of My Imagination6 x 6 inches, Prismacolor pencils and ink on bristol board
The creative prompt this week over at Inspire Me Thursday is "Goddess". I wanted to think about this for a couple of days, so I spent most of the weekend immersed in Harry Potter (yes, I finished it, and all I will say right now is "Wow!" - don't want to spoil it for anyone). Every now and then I took a break from reading to get some gardening done, go to Erin's birthday party, and to contemplate art. So when I visited the IMT website earlier today, I was left speechless by all the beautiful goddesses everyone has been working on.
This is the Goddess of My Imagination, who sees color, movement, and life all around her. She started as a doodle in my sketchbook, and was supposed to be a quick, simple sketch, but became more complex as I worked with her. I think I may have also been influenced by all the violets I've been making in my cake decorating class!
I do love working with colored pencils. I think it's the child in me, who has always loved coloring books and big boxes of crayons. They're portable as well, so I can take them just about anywhere I might want to draw.

Wow! I am with Pattie, this is awesome! I love how you dig deep within and come up with such a colorful and powerful interpretation.:D
Ohhhhhhhh this is just faaaaaaab, so colourful. ;-)
This is a wonderful & beautiful Goddess. I love coloured pencil too and it's great when art emerges from a doodle. TFS and inspiring
This is fantastic! The colors are yummy and the movement...total eye candy (no pun intended LOL). Love it!!!
Great way to start my morning. I love the colors and the flow of the page.
WOW, this is awesome, love your sense of color.
Your imagination must be such a WONDERFUL AND MAGICAL PLACE TO BE! Your sense of movement, colour and life dance from the heart! I also 'see' a deep kindness! No wonder the eye of your goddess sparkles so much!
I love looking at this...it's happy, it's bright, it's alive.
Made me smile! I love how all the curvy lines repeat-as well as the colors.
Fantastic - simply fantastic, I love the colours! Makes me want to rush home and open my pencil tin for a play! :o)
beautiful design and colours!
Really lovely. I love just getting the eye and having to imagine the rest of the goddess for myself. It's also cool that you get inspiration from cake decoration, just shows that we can use all the energy we spend on different art and crafts and combine them.
Cheryl,
She is gorgeous, exotic, alluring, playful...and a flower child for sure with a little dash of "gypsy"!- She's definitely a Goddess...her eye --and you know I too have the "eye" thing going w/my mandalas --beckons creativity. It's like she's saying "C'mon...I know it's in there...". Beautiful and inspiring work!
- A feast for the eyes and imagination!
P.S. I too have the Prismacolor pencils and look forward to using them...and, I just started using the Prismacolor markers too (I'd been using Crayola markers...which I still love) My Prismacolor creations started simple and became more intricate, but I've loved the outcome and will post soon! I'm amazed...like you said in how it emerges. I always look forward to your projects!
I like the way your initial doodle evolved. I love it when that happens!
