How We Spell Relief

Man Flying Over Destroyed City

Wednesday afternoon arts and crafts class at my granddaughter Cecilia's house! The past two weeks we've been making relief prints with Soft Kut and water based inks. Terrific group of kids - great fun!

This Moment

A la Soulemama:
A Friday ritual. A single moment - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor, and remember.

Happy Weekend!

Boat Bed Collage

I treated myself today. To celebrate the return of my hummingbirds to the feeder, I bought the hummingbird print, posted above, which I have been eyeing for some time now. The artist, Rick Beerhorst, describes this painting as having a theme of spiritual sight going past physical sight. I do so like that thought. His paintings bring to mind Magritte.

He states:

I have always felt that a piece of art work can become a portal into the spiritual world like the idea of thin places in Celtic theology. All artistic creation can become a flight towards God. Then lets surround ours selves with truth and beauty and live lives accordingly.

(Amen to that!)

Self-portrait

The Old Red Herd

Thanks to Brenda over at Artslice, I've been introduced to the exciting work of this wonderful printmaker! That top image could be a self-portrait - it looks like me, and it is STILL RAINING HERE. Weather we like it or not. Ha ha. Get it? Weather? Whether? Weather? Argh - the rain is making me dotty!
