Sunrise In My Cup

Been awhile since I posted here as I use

my flicker site mostly---see to the left how to click on it.

In a few days I will upload this same painting there...

Up early in the am outside taking  photos

and as I walked back into the house I

 saw my coffee cup on the old bench

with deep shadows and the  color of  the sunrise looked to

be there...stopped me in my tracks and became a journal

page pretty quickly...it amazes me in that

that may be a rare occurance..



Botched Intentions

The photo pretty much spells it out and

 left clicking photo should bring

it up easier to read.

  What puzzles me is.... why is there

even a crumb, let alone a bite, left on the plate?

 It's been awhile since I posted on this site as I'm enjoying

 classes and post mostly on my flick site which you

 can go to up on the left...

A Red Touch

I stopped after three additional

red add ons....Natually, Papa Hoodoo

liked his name there best....he said the Voodoo

blood drops might be too scary

and the heart wasn't edgy

enough... I forgot to say I tried my

new Noodlers fountain type

pen on this assignment and liked

the feel of it...used Noodler's

Lexington Gray ink. I read where

you can add water to make it lighter gray...

The Poet's View

This is in Ireland when the bus broke down---our little class

had time to do some quick sketching and I added

color to mine back at the hotel. Probably the first scenic

I have ever done that I can recall..but those

patchwork fields demanded it of me and

the poem also begged me to write

it all down--what is happening each

day I am way over there in Ireland.

Before I return home I plan to show

you the poem which I can not think of nor read

without it getting to me...

and so I sat on the ancient stone bench

and started to feel the words..

"IRISH JUMPING HAIR'

"Sitting Boat"

click on photo to see words better

this is the inside front cover of a new sketchbook

which will contain mostly Ireland memories of

a trip I took and now I am taking an Imaginary one in

an on-class with Laure Ferlita....

I am doing the work on watercolor paper

and gluing it into this blank journal

bought years ago..

this particular sketch was started with

watercolor pencils but completed with

my acrylics I am more comfortable

using..

It's funny what will stay in your

memory forever---but this old boat

suddenly there... close to the road instead of

being far away across the

sweeping field to my left in

the sea.....

well that was awesome to me, being

in Ireland at the time...
