One of Three Snow Scenes ~ Watercolor Practice




Practice Watercolors ~ Snow Scene




Reflections of Holiday Season



Seasonal Haiku



Have missed some 'commenting' on blogs as the past two days have required attention to other demands in my life. Just how it goes. Life, I find, is all rather cyclical. Glad now to be back creating and 'posting' and trying to 'catch up'  to responding to comments.

  My post for Friday, Saturday are very 'winter season' oriented. The three 'practice' watercolors that I show were just that ~ practice. I am pleased for the most part; yet, see the errors and will move ahead with more practice.
Photography and haiku seem to flow from me or I allow it to flow more readily, perhaps. Wonder what is happening with you and your creativity? Are you in the 'now' and gearing up for the Holidays?

We are sharing with these creative blogs:

paint party friday
haiku my heart
carpe diem haiku

creative everyday month
paula's weekend blog hop

Do hope you check out the wonderfully creative blogs listed above ~ Enjoy.

Wishing you the best the weekend has to offer.


Hugs and namaste,

and




We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^
