Artists and Poets Friday

Sample cover and  pages of Sketchbook Project 2013






Haiga = Photo plus haiku


FRIDAY POST ~ Hope you enjoy the sample of our Sketchbook Project 2013 and our haiga, which is essentially a photo or painting with a haiku. My creative spirit was being nourished again today by our walk on two beaches. While I was walking and collecting small beach rocks to paint on for friends, ArtMuse Dog was running and exploring other delights of nature's treasures on the beaches.

 We are sharing today with:

 Wishing you a wonderful and fun weekend.
Hugs and namaste,

We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^
