WIP ~ Intuitive Painting


Monday, Monday post means, artists, photographers and poet ~ Poet being me with haiku. Been reading and contemplating the 'Sacred in the Ordinary' and thus learning to see each new day with new eyes. Consequently I am going to begin a series, I think, of some small new paintings and start my Sketch Book for 2013. Today, though, seeing the Sacred in the Ordinary and Extraordinary at these blogs whom I am sharing with today:


 ~ Macro Monday

Creative Everyday

Mandarin Orange Monday

Because of new software ~ I have to put the links like this. Not crazy about it but tis what it is. The above painting is a (wip) work in progress for Creative Everyday. The photo is for Macro Monday and I found it on a rock wall at the beach. It is permanent and there are Cheerios and something else (not sure what). One of those magical finds in the sacred in an ordinary day.

simple pleasures now
each day, a new beginning

  9. That last quote made me laugh, as I am spending days and days, cleaning out the garage and other storage spaces -- trying to get rid of stuff! That macro is amazing.....I agree that simple pleasures are the best!

  10. Where was that 'installation'? Yes, simple pleasures give me joy - like the breaching of a whale I saw today, or the dazzling sunset last night.....seeing with (relatively) fresh eyes! the whole post was great....

  18. Love your intention of opening each day to creativity in its many forms. I feel so much happier when I make room for beauty in each day--don't always manage though. This year my all time favorite color is this soft mandarin orange.
