Magical Monday, Macro and Creative Everyday

Haiga


Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist's soul and explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit.



Today's post is Magical Monday Blog Hop along with exploring two other creative blogs Macro Monday and Creative Everyday. Why Magical? Not 'magical thinking' but magical, (giving a feeling of 'it just happens'.) Most behaviors appear that way; when, in fact, it all occurs step by step, nano second by nano second and here we are today. We are linked to photographers at Macro Monday and artists and artisans at Creative Everyday.

My Asian style brush painting is called a 'haiga' because today it has a haiku typed on it. Any haiku with a painting is meant to be a complement to, not explaination. According to books on 'haiga', it could be considered redundant or possibly rude. The painting is for Magical Monday and Creative Everyday. The photo below is for Macro Monday.
Lovely Iris for Macro Monday

Wishing you a magical, loving and a week filled with peace.


Hugs and namaste,

    I googled 'haiga', and understand its connection to the art of haiku....Gave me an even greater appreciation of your painting, and haiku brings to mind today's gusty winds....I loved the blue of the iris too....

    Una forma de expresarse con mínima pincelada, elegante y bella.

    Oh what a magical place! Your haiga has my day all wrapped up. Very blustery here today. And that iris color is really nice. I just found you via Karen and added a link to my blog post. Great to find your site!

    I never knew that it might be considered rude- must admit don't know how those beautiful brush strokes could ever be considered rude!
