Little Sailboat

the wind arrived

filling the sail and stirring the sea

it nearly felt as though the little boat took flight

~

yesterday my friends took me to 

Garden of a Thousand Buddhas

here in Montana

it was a gray day

the prayer flags were dancing wildly

sending prayers into the heavens

it seemed perfect to share this photo

with the little boat whose sail is also full of wind

now I think of the little flags on the boat as prayer flags

Scribble Picnic: Boat

sailing in aqua waters

under

a big fat moon

last month I made this sailboat for my grandson's birthday

I thought that hanging by a window 

or from the ceiling

it might inspire wonder filled

daydreams

(the pattern is one of Ann Wood's
she does charming and heartfelt fabric arts! )

This week Michael chose: boat 

to inspire our art

I thought that good timing having just made a sailboat. 

Visit Michael's to find out who else is sharing art!

Wings

she gazed across the universe

glancing down on earth

sending heartfelt wisdom

trusting that we let it 

imbue our hearts

Scribble Picnic: Fairies

fairies come in all shapes, sizes

and

colors of varying degrees

some are easy to spot as they leap through the air

others.....

one must glimpse from the corner of their sight

some blend in with life

but 

if we turn to look directly at them

they disappear as if they never were there

Visit Michael's Scribble Picnic to find a list

AC: ritual and routines

daily

she sent out love, joy and goodness

to the world

a heartfelt routine

~

I enjoy my routines and rituals. 

Something easy/graceful about falling into rountines. 

Sometimes I move a waste basket to another spot, it takes days to 

fall into the habit of the new spot, often tossing trash in the wrong place. 

So I also like changing routines, simply to be more present. 

I thought this painting would be about the waste basket

but 

the drawing had a different idea. 

Love when that happens.

Girlfriends

together

they called it 

home sweet home

(post edit:

Breathing on the threshold of a new life, new home, they released their dreams to touch the land and tiny house, imbued it with their love and stepped down the path.)

It is always a decision 

do I leave it as an ink drawing 

or

do I color it .....

Leprechaun

wandering through the land

of 

rainbows

~

last night we got 6" of snow

winter continues to grace our land

sometimes the sun comes out when it is snowing

I always look for rainbows

but I don't know if rainbows work with snow
