SUNDAY SKETCHES and POST CARDS from PARADISE



Brush Painting






A CREATIVE HARBOR



Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of the artist's soul and explore what creativity can do to enhance the  inner spirit. Do come back and visit often. We love to have company and get to you know better.

The above sketch is another Asian brush painting done in my sketch book with mostly black ink and a bit of grey. Hope you like it. It is fun to do; also I need to be very centered and focused to do these and allow my 'chi' to do the painting.


The photo below is from a trip to Hawaii and it is truly a visual paradise. I visited several islands and my favorite was Kona.


Today we are linked with

    I am absolutely adoring your line art. You've captured the quick movement of a cat with a ball of yarn perfectly in just a few strokes of your brush.

    The bright orange flowers against the gray statue are stunning as well.

    Carol, this is a pretty blog. Your cat sketch is awesome, I like
    that you managed to infuse a personality into a minimal black and
    white drawing.

    Your photo is a great example of why people yawn when they get up in the morning in Hawaii and say, "It's just another day in paradise." Love your sketch, too. My favorite island is Kauai.

    It is good to rely on the 'chi' it brings our best creative gifts forward as can clearly be seen here, I also love the Macro Monday tulips!

    Namaste,
