Within dark, damp soil
A vast network of deep roots grow
Establishing a home
Of comfort and solidity

He felt neither here nor there
Regarding the opportunities that now littered the landscape
Unattended
Forgotten
Hollow
For someone else to find
Arting for 365 Day 211: Freeze Dried
Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days
We decided to move our plants with us to the RV. As you might imagine space is a wee bit tight and so we opted to give the plants a home on the front dash. I am beginning to fear this may not be the best bet for them. As temps have dipped into the 20s, the once sturdy plants have begun to look, well, less sturdy. In fact the word freeze dried has come to mind, which can be good when you’re talking herbs, but not really the route we were thinking for house plants..

Growing up in Wyoming meant road trips along remote highways. The landscape varied from vast plains scattered with sagebrush, to mountain canyons with rivers running below. Each trip was an exploration of familiar, uninhabited territory.
The secluded drives left us surrounded by wilderness, but power lines were also an accompaniment. They seemed to measure the wide open distances ahead, mapping out the route to our destination, and providing comfort as I gazed out the windows.

The sky, with its clouds
Drift effortlessly
In glowing light
Averting our eyes
As scaffolding creaks and bows below

Arting for 365 Day 206: A Penchant for the Finer Things
9 x 12″ ink and watercolor on paper
An ensemble of bouffant feathers in jewel tones
She had a penchant for the finer things
Yet the skies were often gray
And the nights cold
Under the glitz of her starry crown
Arting for 365 Day 205: Patchwork
Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days
I compare life over the last few months to a lovely old quilt. Not a quilt that was well planned and thoughtfully designed with specific colors in mind; but to one that was built from a mishmash of bright hues and oblong shapes.
Such randomness is exactly what makes this quilt both unexpected and beautiful. There is more than meets the eye. A story unfolds as blocks of material combine – narrating the adventures of this time in life.

Pulling and tugging
Each seam
Clamoring its way
Inch by inch to somewhere

Arting for 365 Day 203: Landscape Found

Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days
I decided it was time to try something a little different yesterday – something of which I had a little less control over. I pulled out some watercolors and began painting a loose design directly onto a piece of glass. I then grabbed a sheet of watercolor paper, soaked it down, and pressed it onto the painting. The result was a very loose wash of color that brought to mind a misty forest. After letting the paint dry, I drew in trees and other forms to create an abstract landscape.
I like the combination of washes against the bold black lines. My only regret is that I could not seem to get the photo to capture the detail and color as well as I’d hoped it would.
