Up to the sky
Bulbs for heads

Arting for 365 Day 320: Woodcock’s Dilemma
Day 320, 10 x 24″ Acrylic, ink and paper on canvas

Many were quick to point out his shortcomings – most of which were physical:
Short and squat.
Bug eyes on the back of his head.
And that beak! They said it looked good on other birds. The hummingbird wore it well.
He brushed such short-sided comments aside, knowing they were wrong.
Now though, with his beak entwined in spindly branches with no hope of untangling, he would rescind one thing. The hummingbird did wear it better.

Did he look a monkey in the face
When he made
That nod to science?
Or did he read the text
And pray on it?

His body outstretched, he feels at home on this sturdy plank. With age he has gotten to know the waters more intimately – understanding that the tides reward patience.
Soon the waves will roll in and he will ride them as long as his sturdy feet allow. Knowing that tomorrow they may not choose to come around.
You can buy this piece!

They pull
Mightily
In opposite directions
Tied together
No
Bound together
Uncertain of right
Hoping the other tires soon

Smart as the raven was, this new predicament was sure to challenge. For legs like straw and wings of sticks will only get a clever bird so far.
Slightly rattled but with his wits still about him, he paced along the shoreline.
“Think, think,” he cawed
Arting for 365 Day 306: Stitched Landscape
Day 306, 4 x 6″ Ink on stitched paper

I was really hoping to get the painting I was working on finished for today’s post. Turns out that was a pipe dream. Instead I completed a smaller piece yesterday.
Not wanting to tear up nice, new big sheets of paper, I found a bunch scraps and stitched them together, then proceeded to draw a very simple design. I didn’t think I’d like this piece as much as I do. Something about the softness of the paper, the simple lines and the way the work is physically bound together while maintaining individual parts pleases me.

Must have patterned these wings
To distort the morning light
And reflect upon flowering leaves

The leaves she left
Stand
Tenacious
Holding tightly to their trunk
Though weathered
And more than overly worn
Predictions of spring
Not forgone

Jam packed days often lead to images of free flowing, stream of consciousness imagery. So is the case for day 300. Bold shapes and high contrast lines fill up the space. A fitting end to a lovely day.
