Day 7 and some sunlight

Just a quick mandala from a sketchbook, this one is small and not meant for watercolors but because the pages are tiny enough not to wrinkle terribly it seems to take the watercolors anyway....

it's the perfect size to do a mandala in 15 minutes...

 And some sunlight just because it's getting dark so much earlier I needed to see some more sun....

Some photos from my week...

 

 

 All this sun shining

lending magic to moments

small snapshots of time

 

 

 

I have had a busy week.....mostly not creative but I HAVE managed to  work on a custom order of 30 small rocks. I am painting them with symbols that a family has requested and plan to put on their fathers grave. I like doing orders like this that I know will really mean something to the people who will hold them. And I love how we all individually or as families have symbols that are our own...

 

The last one I did was for a woman who planned these because her mother had passed away. Makes me think about what symbols I would put if these were just for me... I guess I need to make a bowl for myself...

Happy paint party Friday , and Haaiku my heart!

wildflowers

laughing wildflowers

run amok in profusion

berries in the sun

 

found along dirt roads

not mattering they're not mine

there for all to see
