Leaf abstract 2013

Dear Everyone:

I continue to find inspiration
for my abstract pieces in the
pages of fashion magazines.

I am fortunate to have kept
all of my old magazines so
I have a good pile of reference
material.

Light as Air poem 2013

Dear Everyone:

Here is today's poem.

LIGHT AS AIR

What is lighter than the head
of a dandelion or a feather
They float in the wind doing
aerial ballet
I don't want to be weighed
down
Especially in summer I like
to stay light on my feet
I contemplate running and
the air whistling past me
accompanied by a sense of freedom
My shoes spring forward and
make me feel like I'm flying
Lightness, air, freedom, flying
They all capture a desired state
Just don't make me return to
earth anytime soon

Beauty abstract 2013

Dear Everyone:

I continue to create abstract paintings.

This particular piece might be the prettiest
one to date.

It was inspired by the pages of a
fashion magazine.

"Faded" poem 2013

Dear Everyone:

This is my most recent poem.


FADED poem

You look blurred round the edges
I would love to paint you in soft,
pastel tones
Nothing bright or jarring
You lost focus gradually
I know because I am a witness
to your life
Does it trouble you to leave
your twenties behind where
you were sharp as a thumb-tack
Aging is mellowing you
Your personality is fading
Your adult son eclipses you
I guess aging affects everyone
differently
Some individuals get more
strident
More assertive
Others more gentle and wise
Don't fade much more
Or you'll dissappear

I am pleased with how this turned out.

See what you think.

May's pieces 2013

Dear Everyone:

I do a scenic drive a couple of times
daily and these shots are from the
best gardens on my route.

Note that the first shot features 3 magnolia
trees of different colours-deep pink,
yellow and pale pink.

Dear Everyone:

I am still enjoying shooting Spring flowers.

Here are some hyacinths I came across
on my way to shoot something else different
altogether.
