Magical Monday Meme, Creative Every Day and Macro Monday


My latest Magical Creation



Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist soul and explore creativity and how it can enhance the inner spirit.
(Haiku Heights and others who might like to read haiku ~ Click on the tab above entitled Haiku April ~ thanks ^_^)


Today we are exploring and hosting a blog hop ~ Magical Monday Meme ~ Link up below ~ thanks ^_^. We also are exploring photography and other creative modalities.

The above Asian type brush painting felt 'magical' to me because I had most of the sketch done and then I 'botched' it. I left having the feeling I can 'fix it', though, 'let it sit' for awhile. So here she is just about complete.  Hope you will appreciate her.

The painting above is also for Creative Everyday and the photo below is for Macro Monday. (click the highlighted link to go there)

Hugs and namaste,

  7. A lovely watercolor, she appears to be waiting for someone special. I love those magnolias.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today. You asked about the kitten's mom. She was among the strays we trapped and was spayed during our event. She was returned to her home.

  9. Lovely magnolia buds!
    Sketching is something I wish I could do. I do have a sketchbook by my desk and I doodle - it calms me.

  22. Hi there - just added a link to my 'wordy blog' on the blog hop.

    I had a lot of fun wandering over the sand following the crabs - my wife said I looked like a madman!

    Hope you have a good week
