ANOTHER Asian Brush Type Painting Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist soul and explore what creativity can do to enhance the inner spirit. Note ~ Haiku April ~ is the tab above below blog header ~ if you would like to read my haiku from Haiku Heights challenge for April ~ thanks, ^_^ Today we are exploring artists and poets. We believe that it is the 'spirit' that moves through us to manifest our creations and that of others. When I trust and go with the 'flow' of the muse, my work is much more 'me', my inner spirit and my being feels centered. Today the artists are varied and the group is growing every week. It is a wonderfully creative group and is hosted by Kristin and Eva over at Paint Party Friday. Also, we are connected to another wonderful group, Rebecca's Haiku My Heart over at Corazon. Won't you join on our Friday journey through art creations and Japanese poetry, haiku. You will be glad you did. The above painting is an Asian type brush painting. It is of a lily pad flower and in keeping with the Asian concept of minimal energy and minimal brush strokes. My haiku follows below:
haiku gray blue cloud sky telling of needed rain soon drenching, land parched. ~ forest closed, warning land, trees, leaves dry, ripe for fires mother nature sad. ~ soon, land, wet from rain ease fear, bless animals and earth does, stags, fawns happy. ~ carol l mckenna Wishing you a fun and healthy 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 ^_^ Come back again for more posts this weekend and Monday and join our blog hop, Magical Monday Meme and post what you create, what you love, your favorite things, your recipe and more. It is all magic. Thanks ^_^ QUOTE FOR THE DAY: ' You can't plan for a seizure of feeling and for this reason I put everything else aside when I am inspired.' (May Sarton) |

Gorgeous water lily, Carol. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I had meant to say a little more, but was just off out. Now I am home again. The painting is so eye-catching it came up on my sidebar and I just had to go peep.
ReplyDeleteLove minimal strokes, can't do it, but wish I could.
The words are lovely, I hope you have had some rain, we have at last!
Now you have got me wanting to write in the Haiku style! Watch out!

Your gathering of haiku areas like a short story. Beautiful and full of the promise of life. I really like these Asian style paintings. I keep seeing them min a block of 4 with a common, but not repetitive, theme. I think we'll have to talk about this someday!
ReplyDeletePeace to you
