one out of four...

cami

i want to make something really beautiful with these and send it to you to say thank you but in the meantime it is not because i don't think these are incredible that you haven't yet heard me say it. thinking about them fills my head at night while i think of embroidered gypsy pouches with one button on each draw string... one day i'll show you what i mean. and you really didn't have to cough up the 5 dollas!!!

ps- the pic of Finley is the best. i hadn't noticed before how the two people in the background are perfectly framed inside the diamonds of the fence. and of course, the face the smile the cookie love is simply divine! & the google eyes too...

some little leafy branchy bundles

all ready for the wood stove

the winter cold

the kindling

all ready for the good heat

with a sweet treat

by the fire...

trees are mostly made of air

sometimes water sometimes wood

of nests birds and flowering fruits

until the winter when they're bare

birds are mostly made of light

sometimes feather sometimes song

a morning tune a hollow bone

against the sky when they're in flight

the sky is mostly made of breath

sometimes blue sometimes gold

of inhales, exhales, lover's swoon

the rumbling thunder warmth of death

death is mostly made of dreams

sometimes nightmare sometimes sweet

from which we wake toward where we lean

collected memory falling leaves

leaves that fall are made of time

sometimes dull sometimes divine

seasons round the sea of seconds

life's most cruel and simple crime

Daily practice...

I finally did it. I asked for a gallery show and I got it... MAY.

Every day I make a 2x2 drawing . Some come out good, some come out.... really RED!

By March or April I'll select ten of these little drawings to enlarge and add collage/other embellishments to. For now this is my daily practice. Inspired or not I make a 2x2 and I've found it to be very interesting. I figure that in 6 months I should be able to come up with 10 images that I like enough to work more on but I think the real project will be the 6 month diary of images. At least for me anyway! & they're really fun to do...
