| Along Came A Spider Retablo in my Etsy Shop |
The spider is the original "spinner", and for me he has always represented THE Spinner of Tales. Here he has spun an entire world anew, created by imagination and shaped by the spider's craft. It is no small thing to take on Nothing, whether it is a blank canvas or empty space - to bring to life words and images, to bring forth what hides in the universe of the heart and share it with the world.
This piece might seem as if I've stepped away from "my style" of artwork... in truth it is much closer to the "me" that has found solace in writing the story of those who cannot be seen, those lost in this world with no way back until their tale has been told.
This retablo represents the creative forces locked within and yearning to burst forth to leave their mark upon the world.
Original illustration measures 9x12
Mediums used: watercolor, ink, pencil, and coffee

It is so inspiring to me that you create: art, words, images, feelings, emotions. I sometimes feel that my creative forces are locked within, so it gives me such joy to see you and others (including the spider) expressing their creativity.
