Peering at another life
A world of growth far below

Arting for 365 Day 208: Holding Up the Sky
Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days
The sky, with its clouds
Drift effortlessly
In glowing light
Averting our eyes
As scaffolding creaks and bows below

Abstract ornaments
Finding their place in orbit
High above
Floating unnoticed
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

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

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.

Unusual to say the least, but certainly all his own. Most who looked upon his oddly shaped auricles judged them to be far and away his best feature.
Sure there were the few who smirked and held their noses high. Even they though, could not deny the impression left upon gazing at such peculiar lobes.
Arting for 365 Day 201: Contemplation

A wave of shadows cast over
Magnifying the quiet
Streaming thoughts
Arting for 365 Day 200: Feather in Her Cap

The details were integral as the story unfolded, and she prided herself on knowing each and every one. Each line and color and word that was spoke – each movement and person, all garnered a starring role in her memory.
For her, every last ounce of recollection provided ornament to the already decorated feather in her cap. Which is exactly what she preferred.
