Sunday Sketches and Post Cards from Paradise


'Goldie'
Asian Style Brush Painting


Welcome to our blog where we view life from the  eyes of the artist's soul and explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit.



Today's post we are exploring artists' sketches and painting along with photographs that the photographer feels is a place of paradise for them

Therefore we are linked with Sunday Sketches and Post Cards from Paradise where you will view many artistic styles and a variety of photos. The above photo is of a recent sketch I did of a gold fish using the Asian brush style technique. The photo below is of the recent phase of the moon. It appears to be a full moon but due to photography and my still learning it was nearer to a half moon but was taken with a telephoto lens on my camera. Because I like most people, I guess, have an affinity for the moon, I chose the moon to express a feeling of 'paradise'. Nature has many facets of being an attraction for 'paradise'. Plus, I am grateful that all I have to do is step out on my deck and there nature is in all her glory. Tonight it is very rainy, windy and wild! Two nights ago when I took this photo there was a 'haze' around the moon which 'they' say means foul weather is coming and it did.








So enjoy the artists and the photographers. Here is a small added attraction for those of you that enjoy haiku.

good night moon shine on
lighting up world glistening
 bit of paradise.

  1. I love everything, the asian style brush painting is beautiful, I also appreciate the difficulty of taking a picture of the moon, just lovely! I couldn't put together a haiku if my life depended on, but I've always been drawn to them! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

  5. that is a beautiful goldfish... the tail gives it such movement... and yet it still looks very tranquil... I used to have a hyperactive goldfish... a total nutcase that did frenzied circles all day long... nothing like your calm looking lovely...xx
