| Universal Queen FRIDAY'S POST ~ Friday, day of artists and poets. Illusive muse managed a walk in between rain showers today. Creative spirit restored momentarily. In a previous life, I must have risen from the ocean, my spirit thirsts for daily walks by the ocean. Do you have a favorite place to renew your creative energy? The above photo is a creation I started yesterday and completed the first in a series today. There is always more to be done on a creation. Yet, today, like me, the painting will continue to be a 'work in progress'. My sketchbook is finally complete and will send it off next week. Then begin the process of developing some type of publication of haiku and a bit of brush painting. My haiku for today is below. Today we are sharing with: paint party friday haiku my heart creative everyday carpe diem haiku haiku leaves falling ever branches shedding, lightening load lessening fall. -o- going to ground now cocooning into night season rising again, spring. -o- birth, growth, sleeping dead awake to new life, seasoned fresh, a new being. -o- Hope you enjoyed your visit viewing a piece of art work and reading some haiku over a gentle cup of tea. For more delightful creations visit the links listed above. Wishing you a peaceful and healing weekend. Hugs and namaste,  and  We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^  QUOTE FOR THE DAY: 'Everything is miraculous. It is a miracle that one does not melt in one's bath.' ~ Pablo Picasso |

So lovely Carol, this painting and your haiku... She is the night sky over your beautiful words... my favorite line is "cocooning into night season..." Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. I just returned from a wonderful hike in the nearby woods with my dear friend and feel wonderfully rejuvenated and relaxed. We need to stay connected to nature in our hectic lives! The Queen of the Universe reminds me of how Mary, mother of Jesus has been portrayed in art through the ages, which is probably not just a coincidence as she embodies many beautiful qualities as I'm sure the queen of the universe also does.
ReplyDeleteyour universal queen is lovely-she'd make a beautiful Christmas card! Anytime I'm outside in nature-especially by the ocean I am most inspired. Wonderful haikus. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I used to live on the coast and, oooooh, did I love the ocean and the smells. There's just no place like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful queen, beautiful haiku also, they spoke to me.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very peaceful and meditative paining, I like it very much! Valerie
ReplyDeleteGreat painting! Very sweet and peaceful! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteUniversal Queen is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your sketchbook, too!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

Beautiful Goddess Queen! I get outdoors to to revive my creative spirit and it that doesn't work I put on my grandmothers sweater ( she passed 36 years ago) , grab a cup of hot tea and meditate. SHe was the first Creative Spirit I knew and she taught me so much about life.
ReplyDeleteThere is something magical above the move from summer to autumn...and you capture the magic in your words.

Lovely...wishing you Happy Weekend ~
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, i loved your beautiful fall Haiku--so beautifully strung together.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful Fall Haiku!
Lovely poems and painting of the Universal Queen! I too need the ocean at times. Here's my haiku:http://barbarathehealthynut.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-light.html
ReplyDeleteIf i was near the ocean that would be where i would go but since i am not.... It is the river for me.... Any where there's water!
ReplyDeleteSo serene!
ReplyDeleteI joined you over a cup of coffee. ;)
That quote made me giggle! Love it.
Have a stupendous weekend. :)
Pretty painting and wonderful seasonal haiku of the cycle of a tree. I especially like that last set. Being seasoned is good! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a peace giving little spirit you have created. She is lovely.
ReplyDeleteArtMuse Dog is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love how you took us through all the seasons in your haikus this week!
ReplyDeleteI love your Madonna 0 thats what she looks like to me considering my background - but she was just the representation of the archetypal feminine anyway --- Friday is the day of Venus - how right to say the day of artists and poets! I generally just go for a walk down the street in front of my house - it ends in a valley with a pasture with horses and that's the best thing ever - ahve a great weekend thx for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and peaceful painting. I love it - happy PPF x
ReplyDeleteI love the ocean too, and wish I lived closer to it. Any water does me well; luckily we live by many lakes, streams, and waterfalls. Beautiful queen and lovely haikus!
ReplyDeleteLovely words and universal queen to go with it. I firmly believe that the ocean can be healing, as well as all of nature really.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I stopped by... I love the haiku, and reminds me how liberating it can be to do a haiku-a-day... and think in haiku :) -- And the sweet Art Muse Do of yours has captured my heart! My 1st encounter w/that breed of dog was just last year, w/a friend..(the dog's name is Violet) -- and she has such a big presence..and its so healing to be around her... I feel the same way when I look at your dog... so thank you so much for sharing her, and your wondrous creativity!
ReplyDeleteLovely Universal Queen and I always love your haikus, they are so beautiful and true.
ReplyDeleteHPPF!
"cocooning" is such a mellifluous word!
ReplyDeleteFull Moon
i'm with you-- the ocean has a strong draw for me-- providing both peace and energy. your painting is so soft and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteand congratulations on getting your sketchbook finished!
Beautiful universal queen - she looks very calm.
ReplyDeleteThe ocean gives me a lot of inspiration as well. It's a place I just love to be.
She is beautiful......
ReplyDeleteKarenx
Wonderful haiku. Love the phrase "the night season"
ReplyDeleteShe is ever so saintly! Love her sweet expression!
ReplyDeleteI too love the ocean.
That's the sweetest Madonna image I've seen in a while. Blessings to you and art muse dog.
ReplyDeletedear carol,
ReplyDeletealways i find beauty and a loving heart when i visit you here by the enchanting sea.
Love the 'starry angel/madonna' figure! Great work!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and beautiful, Carol. Your words and art alwys bring me a smile and make me think. I too love the ocean and feel that I must have once lived there, either IN or beside the waters, but rain seems to be waht fills my well of creativity. When I see a gray sky and thunderclouds, I immediately feel a rush of inspiration and want to dash up the stairs to my studio and spend a cozy day painting. My absolute fantasy would be to have a tin roof, to make the sound of raindrops even louder!
ReplyDeleteXOX,
Kathy
She is absolutely beautiful and serene. Yes, to renew my spirit, I am attending a new church. It's all about the Spiritual and we are all participants. This is all good. Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeletewonderful work Carol! Love her serene expression and the colors. I usually take a walk outside our garden to renew my creativity or sometimes a rest. Hope you have a nice day!
