Energies of Creation

It has been one of those days. I dreamed of yellow paint, rich red golds with some raw umber and raw sienna for good measure, luscious summery butterscotch paints bringing a sunflower to blazing life on a canvas.
I have the canvas ready. Pencil lines hint of the petal curves yet to come into being.

I ran out to the hoop house this morning to check on the little plant people because it was snowing, making the fully leafed caragana bushes droop. The two electric heaters were running but I had not put the propane double burner into action last night so I was concerned.
A big German shepherd was by […]

Welcome to the Carnival of Creative Growth #6. It has been a busy week and I found the number of submissions daunting because I read all the articles as I put the carnival together. I plowed into the long list of entries this evening and ended up thoroughly enjoying the process. I hope you all […]

A more complete explanation of the meme is at the Visualize Possibilities site. Please link both […]

So I am working with […]
