Artists,Poets and Photographers Friday

Another 'Mini' painting in o/c  for Holiday Fair


Work from Nora Clemons-Gallo that I won ~ Exciting!




'Tugboat' doing its Thing'





prompt (violet) ~ Carpe Diem Haiku



Another day and here we are with Friday's post. The weeks just seem to fly by. The first photo (snow person) is another mini creation for a Holiday Fair. The second photo is Nora Clemens-Gallo's work (batik done on paper) that I won a few months ago and just received this week. Isn't it gorgeous? And the word 'Imagine' is a title of a favorite song of mine by John Lennon.
The third photo is of another favorite and that is of a tug boat doing what it does best 'pushing a larger boat' into harbor.
Finally, a haiku with the prompt (violet) for Carpe Diem Haiku, Haiku Friday and possibly Haiku My Heart(if they are back from Mexico). Lots of creativity to dazzle your eye. We are sharing Friday with these blogs:

paint party friday
creative everyday
carpe diem haiku

haiku my heart

Hope you will check out the wonderfully creative blogs listed above. Enjoy.

Wishing you the best in the day.


Hugs and namaste,

    Wow, you're really cleaning up a lot of memes with your post. I came for the Haiku My Heart but got so much more. I love the Imagine painting. Always a great thought and immediately makes me think of John Lennon's words of Peace and Love. Very nice overall.


    Peace

    I adore your snowman, yet feel sad for those who are still without power and heat in the NY, NJ area. This has been the worst storm ever, with devastation on top of devastation.

    I love your haiku. I've only tried ONE and it was a bit of a bomb. Yours was great. BTW, thanks for dropping by and leaving such kind comments. This is the first time I have been able to leave a comment on your blog. Is blogger actually playing nicer?

    Hello sweet Carol, I have missed you! Love your offerings here this friday, the imagine piece is wonderful, one of my favorite songs as well. The grey weather in your haiku does in now way dappen the brightness of your sweet creative spirit! Much love to you!

    The snow person is wonderful. I'd really rather now cope with snow just yet but you can't make snowmen (or ladies) without snow, can you?

    Your snowman is just adorable. I have a total weakness for snowmen (probably never got over Frosty melting at the end of the cartoon). And what a lucky woman you are to win that fabulous piece from Nora, it's wonderful.
