Inspiration for the Impossible

"The ruby-throated hummingbird is a wonder of migration. Every winter it makes an amazing journey. Some have been known to make a journey of 2500 miles or more, from Alaska to Central America.

Because of it, the hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. It will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances." Ted Andrews, Animal-

A kiss, Cone Flowers

A Kiss, Cone Flowers:

When objects in art just touch it is called a kiss. These cone flowers just kiss on the cheek in passing.

There are many kinds of kisses in life:

Butterfly, one of my favorites.

Cheek kisses, like your auntie used to give you.

Earlobe ones, those I hate.

Eye kisses, what ever. Finger kisses,oh so romantic.

Foot kisses, now that is a whole different subject.

Forehead kiss, like the kind an old lover gives on his way out.

French kisses, now your 16 and really know your way around kissing.

Fruity kisses, those I learn to give when I was in Montana. It was along time ago but I still remeber those sweet little kisses.

Hand Kisses, oh so European.

Hickey kisses, haven't seen that mush passion in years.

Mistletoe Kiss, oh yes I long for Christmas when lissing anyone is allowed if you have a little mistletoe.Note to self buy Mistletoe.

Letter kisses, only when you are 12 going on 13.

I had a Dream

I had a dream a few nights ago about a painting I had done. I tried to paint it last night but I think I missed a few things I now remember in the dream. I will try to work it out in water color then if I think I have the concept I will try it in oils.

Tulip Mania

All summer I have had my bag of bulbs ready
Tulips of every color
I dream of rows of pink and yellow
Kneeling now as if in prayer
I plant for hours
Snug in the deep warm earth
they will survive the cold winter
slow to awaken
rows of pink and yellow

Canned Tomato's

I am the little Red Hen
with a passion I tend my garden
planted the seeds
weeded the vines

Tomato's canned and sealed
tiny bits of sunshine in jars
warm my winter days with jelly bean color
orange,green,and red
brewed,stewed, and pureed too

Not one left behind
not one on the vine
all in mason jars for winter time
Vespers in the dark of the basement

State of Relalxtion

State of relaxation was the title I gave to this painting while plien air painting on Little Travers Bay in Michigan. This sail boat was painted in plien air on a day that the rain was off and on all day long. I think the title reflex's the way I felt painting that day.

Today I am off to paint on a farm in Jackson county the day is sunny with no rain in site.

Me at my box or plien air easel.

En plein air is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-19th century working in natural light became particularly important to the Impressionism. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes). Previously, each painter made their own paints by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil.
It was during this period that the "Box Easel", typically known as the French Box Easel, was invented. It is uncertain who developed it first, but these highly portable easels, with telescopic legs and built-in paint box and palette, made treks into the forest and up the hillsides less onerous. Still made today, they remain a popular choice even for home use since they fold up to the size of a brief case and thus are easy to store

Procrastination

Like most of you, I've got a long "to do" list.

There are just some days when I inevitably will avoid doing what I should be doing... I've been this way all my life and nothing short of a miracle or looming deadline is going to erase my tendency to procrastinate. Today I had tons of yard work that needed to be done and my office also needs to be cleaned. I can work on the organization of my office while watching a net flicks so that task will get started. I did paint today. I reworked a painting that I didn't care for the colors in, now I like it better now. So as they say,"keep the chicken flying" a quote Jack White master painter.

I have been painting up north Michigan lately. We have been staying at different bed and breakfasts near wineries and vineyards that overlook Lake Michigan. The views are wonderful and as the day warms up out come the sail boats into the bay.
