Art, Poetry and Photograph Monday



Watercolor in progress for Creative Every Day


The sun shone on A Creative Harbor today in MA.
 After a weekend of blizzard conditions needless to say we were all elated and proceeded to venture out and take some photos that I will show later in the week. Very few sidewalks were clear so ArtMuse Dog and I had a very brief 'photo walk'. Then went to my brothers for conversation and a hot cup of tea and to see the 'valentines kids.' They were busy with Papa creating all kinds of colorful creations. I even got a valentine hand made necklace.

    I am surprised you are about so soon. Thank goodness I read where others are not as lucky. Love family pictures especially grams and grands. Blessings for a better week.

    The kids look as if they are having so much fun making their valentines. I would think that Art Muse Dog would have needed some stilts to go on a walk after that snow! Have a wonderful week!

    The children look content in staying in where it is warm and creating their valentines. I don't envy you with all that snow - don't want it here. :) Your sweet furbaby has the sweetest face.
    Thanks for stopping by and nice comment.
    Have a great week.

    I like the linear patterns in your MoM image - the horizontals of the roof against and the curvy branches in the front. The touches of orange look good against the blue/greys too.
    Thank you for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)

    I am so glad you got out for at least a little while, and hope that you and yours are safe, warm and dry. It looks like the children were having fun with their Papa. Thanks for stopping by my blog today to say hi. Have a wonderful week.

    I was wondering how you were fairing up there. I should of known you would turn it into a creative retreat. Good for you. Papa looks adorable doing crafts with the kuddos.

    What a good visit you must have had with the Valentine Kids. I have some valentine candy work in my memento box from some little friends a few years ago--love kid art gifts.

    Glad you made it through the blizzard with very little inconvenience and that you and Muse Dog were able to get out for a photo shoot.
