Artists and Poets

WIP ~ Goddess Collage ~ Nearing Completion


 Friday Post and that means artists and poets showing what they have been creating recently. The above photo is of a 5" x 5" Goddess Collage, a mixed media work, created on artist canvas with a 2 inch cradle. It is composed of oil pastels, pan pastels, acrylics and specialty paper. I am still working on this piece  which is the second in a series of four. This is a completely new experience to be taking so much time on a creation. Must admit that being back to Yoga and studying Taoism seems to have given me permission to simplify and slow the pace of my life. Along with collage, Asian Brush painting and some watercolor I am still creating Japanese poetry called haiku. Wonder what you have been creatively working on this past week?

Below is my recent haiku and we are linked today to two very creative blogs:

Paint Party Friday

Haiku My Heart 



haiku


calm before the storm
ocean still, few birds sing song
sky grey, ominous.
-o-

nature's energy
storming fast through harbor side
earth needs attention.
-o-

after the rain, fresh
cleansed by mother nature
love all around you.
-o-


Hope you will enjoy the lovely artistic creations and the wondrous poetic forms.

Wishing you a fun and loving weekend.


Hugs and namaste,
