The Black Swan

My name is Anita Rivera from Castles Crowns and Cottages and I am proud to guest post for my esteemed friend Patricia Cabrera. Her ethereal work represents truths in life and I am honored to present her latest piece which will be offered on ebay titled,

The Black Swan

The fact is, light and darkness walk side by side

in each one of us.
But the question is HOW?

The Black Swan has her tale to tell

but you must come closer to see the details.

You see, it's a dance




with yourself









and an awareness of your choices in life.




None of us can turn away from ourselves

but rather we have the strength to face the duel shadows that exist in us all
and dance the rhythm of peace and healing.

"The job of the artist is to unearth the forgotten to bring to light that which is in the dark." - Anita Rivera ©

Giselle , a fairy child!

I had began to forget how it feels to create a child.... a child in clay;Not that I don't normally create one,

but a faerie this time a much larger one.



It has been so long , I was first afraid but her face came to me in a dream.





Holding her in my hands brought back feelings that I knew once before..








Giselle gave me something back.... once lost...

I couldn't resist

Her gentle looks hides a scar from a time before

learning to live and learning to love

She has taken flight

and new steps.



My sweet daughter had pose for me and helped me create Giselle.*grin*

and I will aways love her!
