Montana Summer

this piece came to life

due to summer storms

in the past month i have experienced two trees

being hit by lightning

 

the sound of a hit is SO dramatic!

bits of tree fly everywhere 

even hang from other trees

 

the storm then passes and skies clear

rainbows rise above

flowers dance under the sun

hard to know there was ever a storm

except 

there is one less tree standing

Montana Summer!

they say if you don't like the weather:

wait five minutes!

oh my my, Last week of SOC! Week 6

~

I am amazed at how 6 weeks of summer have flown by!

Kristen's

Summer of Color is a bit of a count down

she has chosen colors for us to use each week in our art

some colors that thrill us

and

colors that we might not have chosen ourselves

it has been a wonderful time of getting to know my relationship with color

those I tend towards

some I do not

I have come to like some colors together that I have 
steered clear of in the past

this weeks colors:

Raspberry & Tangerine

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

Thank you Kristin for being our lovely and generous host!

Drawing Challenge: What's That?

fairy: what's that inside her belly?

owl: facets of her spirit

fairy: ahhhh

~

such a fun week 

considering: What's that? 

lots of animal sounds

tiny crunching sounds inside of logs

rustling in the bushes

life energy within words that are spoken

for fun, what's this?

Thank you Carole for hosting DC

with an interesting theme

DC: Inner Eye

inner seeing

clear

and 

open

she could tell where people avoided intimacy

within themselves

and

her inner life became

a perfect day
