a funny thing
Something funny has started to happen, at the end of each day, I pull down a canvas or another form of painting platform, and I recap my day. Nothing in mind, just a glance over my inventory of tools, and my hands and “unconscious” thought take over.
I’ve always said, “I can’t do a journal” when asked if I have a journal, oh, I have lots of potential journals. I love collecting them, but somehow, I don’t seem to be interested in writing in them. OR drawing in them. I did start doing “art” journals, remember that, I got books and was keen on recycling the pages into artistic “expression” I still like the idea, but that “action” evolved, I began to recycle canvas I’d find in Thrift shops, but as my husband has patiently explained, we only have so much wall space
In fairness to myself, I don’t really want to put up all the canvas that I paint. But it does have to dry, AND some I do like to revisit. BUT once I do them, express that one “emotion/thought” I let it go. Working on Acrylic board, canvas sheets, or water-colour pages works far better, I can then once they are dry, store them till I decide to cut one up to use part or parts of it for a background for something else.
And why pray tell am I sharing this with you. In PL, our first precept is #1 Life is Art.
Think about it, many of you I know read my blogs, and you relate, maybe not to all of what I go on about, but some of it definitely resonates with you. With me, my daily lessons come from my “art” my writing, painting, how I deal with a “challenge/opportunity” sometimes, I am a wiz, it works out just fine, other times, like putting paint to paper it really pops, just not the “harmony” you’d hoped or thought would reflect back at you…. PL Precept # 15 All is a Mirror
In PL we don’t do “sermons” we talk about the precepts, and how they are useful to us in our daily lives. Much like you read here in my blogs. I mention this because, over the years, I have been blessed with new friends through this blog who are not PL members but who share with me, their thoughts and comments, I LOVE IT.
Sometimes we begin a project thinking we know just how and what we will do. Over time I have grown, listened, and learned from you, my delight in the world has expanded through the growth of my online, virtual friends.
How does my “garden” grow….. YOU make it blossom, YOU bring your thoughts and energy into my world, and I THANK YOU.

anticipation 4.3.17
Anticipation
as the days grow warmer the anticipation grows
soon, not only will we celebrate a new day
the new buds of spring will come alive
and the art of the bloom
will bless and bring colour
to skies that have been winter gray
Bees will actively tend their hives
and our toes will be free again
=^_^=
YAY !!!
Thursday Doors 3.10.17
drums beating a steady rhythm
a deep droning chant
accompanied the talking drums
somewhere within the lush vegetation
there would be a path
leading towards the origins
of the mesmerizing communication
behind each door
is a the total sum
of what “Nature/Universe”
has in store for us
find the door
open the door
and walk through
for all you do
each passing day
if look to find the door
meant for you.

Every picture tells a story, no two people will see the same “play”
Oyashikiri
now is now
Sometimes, when the itch comes to put something down, you have no idea, what it is you are wanting to “say/see” You get out your paints, canvas or whatever it is you want to work with and you simply begin .
Through the years I have learned that what works for someone else, is not going to wonk for me. I have to listen to what is happening “inside my head” to believe that my instinct will guide me to what it is I need to express.
If you write, paint, draw, crochet, knit whatever it is you do to express your creativity, if try to force the flow, you are never happy with the results.
Now is now.. I will suddenly come to a halt.. I do not want to do anything else, not at the moment anyway.. When that happens, I know to stop and step back, and allow what has happened to “talk” to me, to identify itself to me.
Photography is the same way, I can take several pictures, of the same area, or object(s) yet when I review them, more often than not, it is the one I least expected to be “the” one, that will jump out at me.
Life is the very same.. every day we are presented with a new canvas, new opportunities, tomorrow I may or may not want to revisit this piece. Some expressions, speak to my spiritual side.. other times, I’m simply OK with the results, but I feel a satisfaction of having put colour into my thought process.
Tomorrow will be the start of another “today”… what colours will you put on your palette.
Whatever you do.. do it with a smile, put your whole heart into it. Make the most of NOW.

Sisters
Out of the night, the eyes stare down and fix on the emotion and passions of “desire” the colours shout and harmonize to dominate the midnight skies. Fireworks in the sky …Q
My sister’s colours, charm and delight with the quiet passion of one who colours from her heart, bright and cheerful and full of warmth. Mother’s Pansies …… V

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express One’s Self
2 sisters, two styles,
PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
How we express ourselves, whether on canvas or another form of expression, is us, being true to ourselves. We are all unique, let us respect and do our best to understand the differences and challenges around us.
We are all ONE.
PL Precept # 11 Always be with GOD
Words on Wednesday,
a child’s expression
so much innocence
the emotion just happens
as we mature
somewhere, some how
we find ways
to hide or not show
how we truly feel
and in time
we ourselves forget
that the facade
is really just that
an outer face
and not what
we are feeling
at all
PL Precept #15 all is a mirror
