BlueSky looks like a great place for the Arts.
I thought I would make an account and check in from time to time for inspiration / motivation.

Beneath cottonwoods, my sanctuary hums by the creek. Alder tea, soft as memory, warms my boots. Hollowed trees whisper endurance, not loss, aging’s dance of resilience. Grateful, I sip, reaching skyward, another year won.

Against the night, a silhouette bends, Where moonlight’s touch with darkness blends. A curve of thought, in monochrome cast, Reflects the soul of moments past. In stillness deep, its lines endure, A truth in shade, both faint and sure.

Still lake reflects old pines,
Light murmurs, time unwinds,
In solitude, hearts align,
In kayak’s glide, peace enshrines.

Winds trace hollows, soft and deep,
Dreams in starlight’s vigil steep.
Against the dark, a spark ascends,
Love’s refrain that never ends.

Got out and about for a bit over the weekend and a couple hundred feet up in the mountain range….

It’s not quite spring in the mountains yet🤷‍♂️

Kinda coming out of a long funk and just had a week long cold on top of that.
I haven’t really felt like posting lately but I appreciate all of you! Blue sky has been a great companion.

Thanks everyone!!

Dusk spills soft on barren stone,
Echoes carve where winds have sown.
In silence, roots of longing twist,
A fragile bloom the cold resists.

A flash too swift for frost to snare,
Leaps through the veil of my despair.
Snow bends to hold what romped unseen,
A soul flares free—my heart’s lost sheen.

I Lost a Friend Yesterday

I didn’t know him long. In fact, he was a fresh and unexpected addition to the house. But I vested the whole of my heart into this little beast. Today, as this puppy lies in state, I can close my eyes and see the whole of his life that never was.

No words lately….

But here is a little nature in my back 40…

Have a great weekend!!

Veils of frost on whispers cling,
A muted song the nightbirds sing.
Through shadowed pines, a gleam takes hold,
Love’s quiet fire in winter’s fold.

Icicles gleam, then softly weep,
A tender vow the stillness keeps.
Through frozen haze, a pulse endures,
Light bends where shadow lures.

Black against the notes of night,
A kitten sits, out of sight.
The melody of resistance hums,
In subtle steps, the old becomes.

Der Blauhirsch

The Blue Deer
I’ve always liked this one for reasons I can’t fully explain.

I was going through a Blue Rider Movement study period, which this is hybridized from.

Sharpies and markers as I recall.

Just Do Art!

In the pond’s serene embrace, Life’s reflections, interlace. Fragments of our yesterdays, In nature’s mirror, softly stays.

Through the glass of twilight's hue, Shadows merge, old and new. Memories like leaves, scattered free, Reflections of what we used to be.

“Machina Lubère - A Cubus Study”
Sharpie - Crayon

Sketch based loosely on a piece I saw while watching Rick Steves in Scandinavia. There was cubist painting on the wall behind him. My guess is it was a Norwegian Thorvald Hellensen

In stillness found, a soul's delight, Colors dance in morning light. Fractured beauty, nature's call, Spirit's breath, in light we fall. Through stained glass, life's refrain, Mysteries of the divine remain.

Through shadows and evening mist, A breath lingers, softly kissed. Unseen layers gently weave, Dreams in night’s quiet eve. Beneath the waves of starlit glow, Silent mysteries softly flow.

“The Workshop in Winter”
Crayon and white acrylic marker

One of the old outbuildings on the property.

I want to do a dark night painting of this in oil or acrylic, This is kinda a study for that but dusk is kinda better for crayons....

In winter's hush, where shadows weave, A poet's dream, in moonlit eve. Flurries kiss the silent night, Love's soft glow, a beacon's light. Through frost and snow, hearts embrace, Time stands still in nature's grace. In twilight's glow, whispers blend, Eternal bonds, no end.

Amidst the forge, life’s essence found, Molten heart in fire unbound. From searing trials, love’s form revealed, A masterpiece, in heat annealed. Forged in passion, strong and bright, Love's tempered glow, eternal light.

“Onions, the Snake and the Garden Wall”

Simple complexity. I love to work on Implied Detail with exaggerated Perspectives and odd, Surreal subject matters

Neither overwrought or under thought

K.I.S.S exemplified
Crayon & sharpie

Winter's grip holds time still, Waterfall's hush, dreams unfulfilled. Icicles like tears, past's frozen pain, In silent beauty, peace we gain.
