– Girl With Koi –
Day #7 World Watercolor Month

This is Day #7 of the World Watercolor Month today I was debating deciding what to paint. I also wanted to paint something different and combine a girl face with an animal, I love to do that lately. Today painting is titled “Girl With Koi” I love the Japanese Koi fish their colors are beautiful. I was inspired to combine a Koi and a colorful and glamourous girl together in a vortex of blue water.

” Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Wikipedia

Save The Elephant Day

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Carolina Russo

Save The Elephant Day!

Today my April Celebration and doodlewash is dedicated to a wonderful, intelligent and very sensible animal that I love the Elephant!

They are beautiful wildlife creatures, and they need all of our support to keep them safe and secure in their habitat on this planet. It is very sad that beautiful and fascinating creatures like them are under life threats in some areas, I have seen online horrific photos.

Today is Save The Elephant Day let’s make this not just one day but every day, we can show our love and support spreading the words, visiting websites dedicated to animal protection, we can do anything that we feel, can help to raise awareness in protection of their days to come! As I am also a Jewelry Designer I made a choice long ago and it is to never ever use “Ivory” elements in any of my creations.

My watercolor shows an elephant that is worried about his future, but that is there ready to run free and happy any day of the year without worries.

Details about my doodlewash:
watercolor with black ink finish. I used one of my favorite French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box and Pigma Micron black Ink pen #005 and #05 over a Mixed Media Sketchbook!

With this Celebration of Save The Elephant Day, I am also join Charlie at doodlewash celebrating a National or International Day with a doodlewash! You are welcome to join with your doodlewash! Tag your image#doodlewashaday.

#doodlewashaday, #SaveTheElephantDay

Happy doodles and have a wonderful day!

Poetry – Crystals

November 18, 2015 Carolina Russo

Crystals

translucent surface
of an inner energy

powerful light
radiating rays of depth
in the history of nature

sun reflection and donation
of universal love
for the humanity to hold

a cosmic revelation
sometimes unknown
like puzzle pieces to find
within our soul

awareness will come
with perception and feelings
love is power
light will shine

50 Words Story…Golden Aura

September 6, 2015September 8, 2015 Carolina Russo

Golden Aura

The bright golden aura was expanding through the darkness of clouds lighting up the sky. Unconscious awareness of an awakening soul was swimming through the thirst of truth. Climbing stairs of universal love, finding peace and happiness into a rising moon.
