New Morning
5 x 7 original pastel matted to fit an 8 x 10 frame
Playing in a creek bed could amuse my sister and brother and I for hours...even WeekiWachi didn't hold a candle! We'd build a dam, cool a watermelon, walk up the stream and freeze our tootsies.
Even today I can sit by a mountain stream for endless hours daydreaming, reading or collecting a pocketful of stones. Truely de-stressing.
Next best thing is meditating on a painting done from this small portion of the Watauga River in western N.C. The sun, just beginning to peek through the trees, reminds me that
every morning is a new one, a new opportunity, a clean slate.
Watauga (Wata gi) is a Cherokee Indian word meaning, loosely, beautiful waters, whispering waters, or village of many springs. I like that.
very nice. I loved your hues.
ReplyDeleteThanks Megha, I see those hues in your work as well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful start to a beautiful day. Great job, Cincy.
ReplyDeleteHas such a feeling of coolness about it that it makes me wanna get out from under those trees and back out into the sunshine! :)
ReplyDelete'twas a bit nippy, glad that is conveyed, and it was a lovely day in toto!
ReplyDeleteColleen Gentry shared your blog on facebook. She is someone I adore and respect! When I read your post, I found it very honest and well written. I am an artist in my head but not with the paintbrush and I can very much relate to those feelings we all have. Thanks for the honest post.

ReplyDeleteGigi: Colleen IS amazing, thank you for checking out the blog and art; the day will come when you have time to pick up a paintbrush (or a pen, pencil, clay, camera...) and enjoy those artist tendencies; meanwhile your expressions in other ways are equally important if not more so!! visit again.
