Art: Life in Bloom


A delicate fabric of bird song
Floats in the air,
The smell of wet wild earth
Is everywhere.


~ Sara Teasdale, excerpt from 'May Day'


May brings warmer weather, bloom, bluebirds flitting to and from the nest. Almost every day, I'm painting outside on the front porch: pink honeysuckle twines around the railing, I paint cobalt blue garden signs, watering can, paintings. In between sorting and sifting through belongings: sending some off to charity, some to sell, some to give away to friends, I'm still amazed how much 'stuff' accumulated over the years. One thing I never have too much of is...you guessed it, ART. Mine and others. Work in progress. Art supplies. Vases of brushes. One positive note about cleaning up and out is there is a bit more space. For art. Thought of the day: Bloom. Just bloom.
