| New Asian style painting Friday post ~ means Artists and Poets. The above photo is a new Asian style painting that I just did this evening. Below are the Sketchbook Project (works in progress) with a theme of blessing bowls (see previous posts) the photo below is the inside of the cover done with asian papers and then brush style bowls ~ hoping to give them somewhat of an ancient look. The last photo is of the cover itself; once again hoping to create an older look to the blessing bowl. Below all the photos are my haiku. Enjoy. |

Happy day****
believe me when I say I love this new Asian art...I love the colors you've been using, espec. the touches of turquoise....And I like your take on the fall - a recycling for spring - puts it in a better perspective....
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches. Love the little girl's pig-tails!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll keep my woman-child alive. ;)
I liked the painting and also the words you weaved around the theme.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Asian Style Painting :-)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks timeless and those colours are one of my favourite combinations.
ReplyDeleteI think that 'ancient' speaks volumes today.

ReplyDeleteYour haikus are great. They remind me of what is going on now in nature. A beautiful way to look at our world. Your Japanese style of painting is interesting. Calm. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteYou make me wish I could draw. ... Believe me, I have tried and it just turns out looking like a 2 year old was playing. I guess some of us have talent and the rest of us wish we did.

ReplyDeleteNamaste x
nice to see your paintings and read your poetry that honors the changing of the seasons.
ReplyDeleteI was working on my studio porch yesterday and realized that the wind was blustery and cooler...it had autumn written all over it! I know we'll get Indian summer - we always do - but the nights are already cooler and there's no denying the change in the air. Beautiful, evokative haikus!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I have to tell you - I'm loving your series of Asian style paintings. They are all so lighthearted and lively.
ReplyDeleteAh, autumn is such a lovely time of year. Hmmm. I like the idea of making a sketchbook!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post in words and art. Thank you and happy PPF

ReplyDeletewonderful as always. I think your blessing bowls are getting better and better the more you do. Lovely work. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteCarol, what a wonderful post! Your blessing bowls paintings are super. I love the cover (outside and insides). Your haikus are great tributes to the changing season. It certainly is beginning to look like fall here.

Hi Carol....wonderful words and art!!!! have a super weekend
ReplyDeleteI honestly love all of your Asian Style paintings, but this one is more elaborate and detailed than the others. I like it a lot! I love the Haiku and the reference to the Equinox. That's coming soon. Time for a big outdoor fire in the back yard fire pit. How i wish this circle of Haiku My Heart friends could join me around the fire for the evening. Imagine the sparkling conversation. Very nice indeed!
ReplyDeletePeace
How much I feel not being able to understand the beauty of haiku but I understand the picture... Saludos

Fab Haikus and sketches. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carol, makes me want to get out my art sketch book.... Almost. Although, I do sketch out my sewing designs.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to teat myself away from the sewing machine.
Great work! I've been wanting to Haikus but I'm a scardy cat. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteyou do such a good job of capturing so much with just a few brush strokes!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, I love the paper you are using and technique on your blessings bowls. Your haiku make me feel like I"m standing in a grove of trees opening my arms to the turning of Fall... lovely... Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the new style Asian painting. The blessing bowls are lovely too and I especially love your Haikus. Just read an article in a local gardening magazine in haiku. I had never heard of them until I visited your blog. Might try my hand at them!
ReplyDeleteNice!:)
ReplyDeleteI love the 'river' painting.. very powerful! The haiku leaves that 'autumn feeling' and you did wonderful in getting that across with a few lines!
ReplyDeleteI really like the abstract shape the stream makes and that cute little girl.
ReplyDeleteYou are making a good start on your Sketchbook Project, very nice to see your progress with this.....Note to self: must get on with mine!!
ReplyDeleteAll nicely done. The first one pulls me in as does the Haiku you wrote. HPPF
ReplyDeleteI liek these. Simple and nice :)
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying your Blessing Bowls series. Are you looking at examples, or creating them entirely?
ReplyDeleteYour blessing bowls series is looking amazing. And I love the cover of your sketchbook. I have been meaning to join in with the sketchbook project - maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI like the red bows in the girls pig tails, and your autumnal haiku.
ReplyDeleteI dolove this series and your haiku of recycled back spring!
ReplyDeleteLove the flow of the first one and the colours of the other one.
ReplyDeleteI have so loved your blessing bowl series. Great cover to introduce the work. The colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings and I love your haiku!Hugs and Namaste!
ReplyDeleteWhat are blessing bowls and what is their significance?
ReplyDeleteThe concept originally came from monks from a particular monastery who each morning took their bowl out to the village and begged for their meal for the day ~ I turned it into the concept of a 'blessing bowl' and how each day we are blessed with what comes into 'our bowls' 'our life~ there is a post about this and it is somewhat of a Taoist based philosophy ~ that all are blessings ~ whatever happens ~ thanks for asking ~ namaste, C ^_^
