DIVINE LIGHT SHINES FOR ALL ^_^
Gradually getting back to posting my regular posts. Took a bit of time off for the Holidays and family time. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones.
The above photo is a reflection in a local bank on Cape Ann MA. It was very tastefully done and the weather cooperated until recently to take the holiday photos.

Reflections
This is another 'reflection' in Manchester MA which is considered part of Cape Ann ~ Local towns of Cape Ann are typically Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester. Magnolia is considered part of Gloucester.

| Haiku for Haiku My Heart ~ haiga created using a sand photo from local beach. |
Zoe and I typically walk daily in the park where there are two beaches. Today, though, we had to stay close to home as it was extremely windy and rainy. Below is a watercolor sketch that I quickly did today to have something to post for Paint Party Friday. It is really not very good but with the holidays and all have not done much creating with the art.

Your reflections photos are great as is your lovely beach scene painting, Carol. We all seem to be looking forward to a slower pace soon. The holidays are somewhat stressful at time.

The Christmas season is a great time for taking a break from our usual routines. It allows us to reflect on the meaning of the season (provided we're not TOO busy) and rejoice. I think your art is lovely, despite lack of time and focus. :)

Hi Carol, I think your haikus are getting more and more beautiful! Thank you for always being encouraging. You have a beautiful soul! A blessed new year to you! Patsy
ReplyDeleteGreat serie of photos. Nice reflections!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. Like Haiku's simplicity, watercolours too only need a few brushstrokes to say it all and your lovely painting certainly does this. Best wishes for 2013. Take care. xx
ReplyDeleteThis endless candle is so nice ! And the mirror is superb ; I have one like (the sun is not exactly the same, though) we call them witch mirror, in the south of France, but I don't know exactly why.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you don't like the sketch. I thought it was a picture at first blush! You did great!
ReplyDeleteI love the peacefulness of winter at the beach. Your scene perfectly captures that! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteOh I like the shot of the mystic place with the sunmirror above...what a perfect place to charge new energie...wish you a happy start of the new year :) Conny
ReplyDeleteNice reflections!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Carol and ArtMusedog. Nice haiku you share here.
ReplyDeleteCute painting! Both your haikus are good, but I especially like the one on the seasons. Happy PPF and New Year!
