Bottom Drops Out

When it feels as if, once again
the bottom has dropped out
And you’re hanging out
over the precipice
In faith, you will discover
you can lean back into Spirit
Wherein, all is safe
and loving…
Muddled in Fog

Hawaiian Shirt

 

Lest all be muddled in the mists of time
let truth shine it’s rayon me

He said he never owned a Hawaiian shirt…

From a drawing that I did
of a photograph of my dad that I found

The Wind

A simple photo montage I created in time, however did not post in time.  I posted it out of time.

 

Winter Berries

Winter Berries

Inedible

Feeling the grey today.

I sat out in the sun for a minute or two before the clouds  took over again.  It was long enough to dig my toes into the mud and appreciate my connection to it.  The bright red berries that used to always appear at Christmas time at my Grandmas house when I was little are quite prevalent in this neighborhood, if you know where to look.  They always cheer up my eyes.

Tracings

Tracing the edges of feelings
Elusive, they hide
 in the midst of
convenient thoughts
Tracings 
like finger drawn messages
on steamed up glass…

Seeking the Sun

 

This little guy posed for me through the window.  I got several shots where the little camera hound just posed and looked straight at the camera.

The poem comes from TheDailyNapkin.com, which I write.

Catch the Beauty

We are surrounded
by incredible and
wondrous Beauty
Take a moment to catch some
with your eyes or your ears
or your heart today
Catch the Beauty
and pass it on…

Oh, I do have fun with layers!

I started today with a simple pen and ink drawing that I had scanned to put up for sale on Etsy.  I’ve decided to clear space for new work. That means freeing all of the old pieces that I never really showed anywhere to be out in the world, including sketches, studies, and other pieces that just struck me enough to keep.

Ambiguous Marks

Today I played with digitally combining a couple of my  paintings with one of my pencil drawings. One of the great things about creating in both traditional art media and digital is that it opens up a whole new layer of possibilities for play.  I have this huge original and unique treasure chest of art tools that is mine alone to pull out and use in photoshop or illustrator whenever I wish.  It is true abundance in action! I feel blessed.

These are the two paintings and the original drawing.
