I've become obsessed with clouds lately... maybe because i'm indoor most of the day now and i'm that much more impressed with the sky.
...and how can one not be impressed with a sky like this one?
I took this last week, when they were forecasting severe thunder storms, although we ended up getting nothing but a few raindrops and extreme beauty.
i can see why people used to think the gods were angry whenever skies like these developed... it's pretty impressive to look up & see this.
...i loved this distinct line in the sky... dark against light. light against dark.
and these unexplainable, beautiful blobs of scattered light. I took this photo from outside, so i'm not really sure what the light is all about. I smile as i remember what my teenage son gave me as an explanation: UFO. (giggle)...
I found this feather earlier this week
during my walk.
...and an empty notebook, just waiting for words.
some old art (since i have nothing new these days)...
Here's to howling at the blue moon tonight.
And here's to all of you and your thoughtful comments.
and no fancy photoshopping here - just me & my cheapo camera.
i've made such little art lately, but i'll share the little bit that i do have.
i did this a few weeks ago. Or maybe months ago. i may have already shared. This is what working in a cubicle does to an artist. Burns out brain cells. ;-)
i sometimes sketch while watching tv... This quick sketch was done while i watched a documentary about the disappearing forest in BC (Canada)...
So sad to watch all those beautiful, majestic, fir trees being cut down,
all in the name of progress.
And as usual,
the governments turning a blind eye.
"A fool sees not the same tree
that a wise man sees".
- William Blake
more scribblings... and quotes.
this is what i feel like sometimes after weeks in the confines of gray walls. Holy hell, imagine what i'd look like if i had chosen the gray cubicle my whole LIFE...!?! s-c-a-r-y.
and a hopeful little guy with a balloon. Balloons are always fun and lighthearted, two things i am obviously lacking in my life at this time.
...and little miss ballerina in her pink tutu.
i made the choice to find myself a job outside the home for a while, and as grateful as i am that i got exactly what i wanted - I am also so relieved that it is coming to an end soon... Everyone there is kind ....well, mostly everyone (wink wink) but I feel like i'm holding my breath under water without art & writing as part of my daily routine. I miss art. I miss making things. I miss experimenting and sharing and inspiring and learning and discovering and painting and daring and noticing and FEELING. That's it. It's the feeling part. So my dear friends... soon, i'll be back to making art full time again and writing again and sharing with all of you lovely souls. I may be eating kraft dinner, but i'm totally ok with that. As long as i can eat it between paintings. :-) Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead...
