Elder Wisdom
The beauty that glows from within the individual who has lived a long life walking with honor on their path only outshown by the resultant wisdom that individual carries gently in the heart.
Pragmatic Man
Black and White Thinker
This is a combo of two watercolors and a pen and ink drawing. The words became obvious as soon as the image neared completion. As usual, I have never really met this fellow, except that I discovered him through the tip of my pen.
Hot Seat
Sally Sits
Sally likes to sit in her favorite chair to think through any problems or even self doubts. She’s always relied on the comforting plaid to add a certain organization to her thoughts and contemplations. She calls it her “Hot Seat of Noble Intelligence. “
Other times, she just sits there and vegetates at the end of a long day.
Cherry Spring
Cheery before Cherry
I got to go to an event in the bay area this last weekend with a group of friends. This tree was singing to me! Lovely, lovely, lovely! I was reminded of this poem I posted on the Daily Napkin a couple years ago. As always, I revised it a bit to fit. The many layers of texture in this photo are subtle. I especially enjoy building up layers in a subtle way.
One of the side benefits of doing the image a day this year, is that I am creating a whole line of images for my Serenity Cards. I’ve been making them large enough and high enough resolution that they are appropriate for high quality printing. It’s two ways to invest in myself – both my creative self and my business self.
Blessing
Green Luck
Sometimes I resist going with the crowd, and then it takes me three times as long to come around to it. Blessings are blessings and I always wish you many of them. Life is such a joy, that I wish the discovery of that realization to everyone. Working in shades of green was fun and kind of healing too.
