| WIP ~ Intuitive Painting Monday, Monday post means, artists, photographers and poet ~ Poet being me with haiku. Been reading and contemplating the 'Sacred in the Ordinary' and thus learning to see each new day with new eyes. Consequently I am going to begin a series, I think, of some small new paintings and start my Sketch Book for 2013. Today, though, seeing the Sacred in the Ordinary and Extraordinary at these blogs whom I am sharing with today: ~ Macro Monday ~ Creative Everyday Mandarin Orange Monday Because of new software ~ I have to put the links like this. Not crazy about it but tis what it is. The above painting is a (wip) work in progress for Creative Everyday. The photo is for Macro Monday and I found it on a rock wall at the beach. It is permanent and there are Cheerios and something else (not sure what). One of those magical finds in the sacred in an ordinary day.  haiku simple pleasures now each day, a new beginning see life with fresh eyes. (carol mckenna) Wishing you a loving and fun week. 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: 'Get rid of things or you'll spend your whole life tidying up.'

Monday already ... now am waiting for next weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that quote...wish I could hire someone to come simplify my mess!
ReplyDeleteMay the days be filled with simple pleasures this week Carol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very cool find. I must walk around with blinders on because I can never find things like that.
ReplyDeleteYour wip is looking very promising!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week you too!
ReplyDeleteThat last quote made me laugh, as I am spending days and days, cleaning out the garage and other storage spaces -- trying to get rid of stuff! That macro is amazing.....I agree that simple pleasures are the best!
ReplyDeleteWhere was that 'installation'? Yes, simple pleasures give me joy - like the breaching of a whale I saw today, or the dazzling sunset last night.....seeing with (relatively) fresh eyes! the whole post was great....
ReplyDeleteLove your painting!
ReplyDeleteYour flower with today's haiku resonated so strongly with me! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteA great find, love your quote, sometimes I try to play with the format, but don't do it often enough, thank you for visiting my site. Cheers
ReplyDeleteIt's comforting to know that each morning we can see life through fresh eyes.
ReplyDeleteVery cool cheerio 'wall sculpture'. The orange looks yummy to me ;) I envy those that can draw and paint..I began an Art Journal two weeks ago and I can't seem to move beyond the ordinary...but I will keep exploring ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your orange art on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Mandarin Orange Monday (Mom). My entry is about our Anniversary Dinner, would be delighted for you to come and see.
Lovely Cheerio heart!! :):)
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful orange flower. I am going to remind myself each day that I can see the ordinary with fresh eyes. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove your intention of opening each day to creativity in its many forms. I feel so much happier when I make room for beauty in each day--don't always manage though. This year my all time favorite color is this soft mandarin orange.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, great initiative.
ReplyDeleteWe always find what we're looking for.
