dc driftwood




and there, by the sea one day, the little girl met
driftwood man.
he was shaped by salty water and wind and he had travelled a long way.
he was filled with stories, tales of shores near and far,
he told her about the secrets of the sea.


Mano presented us with a theme which tingles the imagination,
please take a look at this creative centepede's blog,
you'll find more driftwood there.

wishing you all a warm weekend

  4. he may be a little grand for my own imagination, he is even scaring me a bit, seriously. but i'm impressed by his veins/muscle though.

  5. Dear Renilde,
    first I thought of a skeleton, but the little girl seems to be fearless... Now I see, of course its a (huge) driftwood man!
    Amazing the story, a fairytale, very well-narrated and painted by you.

    Love
    Ariane.

  12. Do you know the driftwood sculptures made by Heather Jansch? Thats what I thought of, when I saw your lovely painting. It must be able, making such a person too, or not?

  15. Renilde I can count the goosebumps this gives me on my arms and everywhere!!! I wish this were a storybook completely illustrated by you. This is magic to me...this painting...what it evokes in my own imagination. Driftwood Man has such a regal stance. Even though one can see through him -- to the ocean beyond, where he came from, he is not scary. Just regal. Gosh this is awesome. My hat is off to you, art friend!! Hugs, Norma, xo
