Birds


sometimes
i hear them
singing in the trees
the pine grosbeak
such a lovely sound

last year they came to my feeders
they are such a lovely splash of color in winter wonderland

also a peak at a sketchbook page:


Lovely weekend to you

Under the Cloak of the Moon



my blog friend Maureen wondered if the gnome from the last post/painting lowered the mushroom 
cap over himself at night
making him truly invisible

which inspired the above painting

he does! 
look at that, the cap has cloaked all but his boots
under the light of the moon, stars
and gown of the universe of deep blues
~
this was the first painting: 

 
with all his heart
he believed:

I am 
invisible

he took delight 
in being
 part of the hidden realm
~

 
thank you for the inspiration Evergreen Mo
it was fun letting your message inspire the next piece
inspiring me to play with story through images
 
~
sweet dreams to you all

Mushroom Gnome


with all his heart
he believed:

I am 
invisible

he took delight 
in being
 part of the hidden realm

~
one never knows what they might spy
under a wee fungi

Daily Book or Evening Sketches


recently i was considering
: daily sketchbooks
i have called these drawings: evening sketches
but have not done them daily
so i pulled out a sketchbook Marta gave me 4 years ago.

for: daily sketches


Some might reflect my life, as a written journal might. 
Though maybe not......
snowflakes have been falling and the lady above is wearing mittens....

Below a snowflake photo i took on the first day of our new year:


wishing you a magical 2016!

Cloud Maker


she danced on her toes
spinning among swirling branches
it was her joy
and destiny
to be
cloud maker

Beyond the Log Cabin Walls: DC: Threshold


she stood at the threshold
before stepping out
feeling into the essence of the world
allowing her breath
to meet the sway of the trees
the depth and height of the mountains
her heart to beat 
to the song of the birds
felt her kinship with the world
and
she stepped out
~

it is lovely to be DC host this week

threshold
