• My Wooden Easel and Art Supplies

  

  I brought in my portable wooden easel tonight. I cleaned it well with natural soaps and water, cleaned, neatened bristles, and arranged all my brushes, and set up all paints inside. I also placed on my blank 9 x 12 canvas, deep cleansed and airing out the wooden easel with the cool open window. I […]

• Poetry Books: Goldenrod and The Book of Love, and More

  

  The title poem of Goldenrod by Maggie Smith reminds me of my time as a very novice student of nature last year. And I’m not purposely or only picking gold-colored things for the blog :), but I won’t outright deny a gold-colored thing for variety either. My brief reflection of the book: Goldenrod by Maggie Smith (2021): […]

• Peeko Creates His Own Retreat

  

  (photo found from yesterday; lighting a little brightened to match reality) Speaking of all my “pocket talk” with my pocket sketchbooks on the blog drawings of flowers and leaves out in the field: My cat Peeko added to his cat tower…and created his very own hammock! from beneath the seat of my chair, and it’s […]

• “As If I Had Been the Harp Then and the Hidden Music”

  —for Miss May Ziadeh You were close to me last night with your compassion and how you were cherishing me; I felt the feather-soft way your fingers moved through my hair, the shape of your hands familiar and welcome…You placed your face close to mine and whispered in my ear a little while, quick soft […]

• An Imagined Room and View, 2

  I sketched this view again, a scene from my imagination I’d shown, and this time I added to the subject and added colored pencils with the pastel (wasn’t a great blend of two mediums for me but I tried). Seeing this, I found a change to make to the subjects. I am finding my way […]

• An Imagined Room and View

  A quick sketch I did tonight with my recently found pastel pencils…of a view I’d had in mind for awhile from my imagination…and I am not sure what kind of flowers these are; let me know—they have felt necessary—first time seeing this view of mine in color on paper. I am still envisioning how it […]
