I’m finding art to be my much needed “de-stress” meditation recently. For a few hours every other day or so, I’ve been losing myself in line and color.
It’s been a blessing to not be thinking about anything other than what’s happening beneath my pen or paints. And I’ve discovered that the more I do this, the greater my patience grows and I actually take my time with each piece. And I’ve been enjoying challenging myself to paint things I’ve never painted before. Like this goldfish, which will be a gift for a wonderful person who loves goldfish and whose birthday is coming up soon.
For a while, I think, the poetry will be on the sparse side while I enjoy the paints and ink. Be well!

Gorgeous – I can sense the satisfaction you have with each drawing. Are you off to sand and sea soon? Just the idea of it relaxes me – ahhh, to walk that sandy labyrinth! hugs K

Wonderful Sarah,
The place we go in our head when we paint is totally different from the place we go when we write poetry and much more absorbing 🙂
I hope you take your paint box to the sea

So happy you’re enjoying inks and colors and painting. I tend to go back and forth with my writing as well. I love what you’ve been up to!
I’ll be posting new art and new newness soon. It takes awhile for me to re-emerge after a long emotional block, but after a break, it’s a great, long breath of fresh air and a chance to look around and discover the gentle changes that have taken place with my fellow artists. Like watching the sky dawn and dusk.
*giggles* And like this illustrator finding her inner poet, too.
Don’t you find that painting with watercolor is a lot like watching poetry?
