"May the Spirit be with you"



"Father Christmas"

" Im not sure who wrote the poem below, but after reading
it I had to illustrate it~" Its done with quache on illustration
board. Its framed too~


Father Christmas

"The long velvet robe, trimmed in mink, provides swift movement from place to place..
Antique sleigh bells & braided cords worn on his pouch signify hope...
Twigs of evergreen decoration on his beret & staff represent the harbinger of spring..
The bag of switches slung over his shoulder provides children with an
incentive to be good or else...
Wherever Father Christmas goes, he brings the Magic & Beauty of Christmas with Him...

Merry Christmas to all!
Thanks~ Darcy

"How much is that Harley in the Window?"

Merry Christmas... Thought I'd share a little "diddy" this year for Christmas. Wrote it last year, to feature a giclee release of "Crow Spirit" a canvas print. The tittle: "How Much is that Harley in the Window" & is sung to "How Much is the Doggie in the Window"

Hope you enjoy it~ Happy Holidays! Darcy





"How Much is that Harley in the Window"
Darcy Gerdes ©2009
How much is that Harley in the window? (roar! ROAR)
The one with the shinny new tail
How much is that Harley in the window? (roar! ROAR!)
I do hope that Harley's for sale.
I must take a trip to Flying Pigment Studio
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a Hog, he won't be so all alone with his radio
And the Harley will have a good home.
How much is that Harley in the window? (roar! ROAR!)
The one with the shinny new tail
How much is that Harley in the window? (roar! ROAR!)
I do hope that Harley's for sale.
I read in the paper there are riders (roar! ROAR!)
With tail-lights that shine in the dark
My love needs a Harley to protect him
And scare them away with one quick park.
I don't want a Honda or Vespa
I don't want a bike with pearls
I don't want a little motor of blah
He can buy the bike for his girl.
How much is that Harley in the window?
It’s $450.00, a signed canvas print
At the Flying Pigment Studio window
Just for your va room~Va Room~ (hint! HINT!!)

"Terrestrial Reflections on our Orbital Moon~" darcy gerdes
This painting revealed itself to me in a dream.


great quotes:

"Water is the driving force of all nature." Leonardo da Vinci

"Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe


"Water is the soul of the earth." Robert A Swanson & W.H. Auden


'No one can see their reflection in running water.
It is only in still water that we can see." Taoist proverb
