A Stone: One daily observation.
The day begins quietly, doesn’t know what it wants to be. Thunderstorm expected in the afternoon, until then it will be another hot day.

This is a very busy time for me, I have no time to “gather scattered words, to make sense of it all”. It isn’t a transition time, but perhaps a time for completing projects. All seems pressing right now, only wish I could get these things finished, so I could do what I want. I started an investigation several months ago, and just haven’t had enough time to really get into it, so it calls to me. Whispers my name, teases me and of course I want to respond. What to search in this playground I have created.
I am looking at still life, and asking the question. “How much information is needed?” And right now I cannot finish the question. How much information is needed, for what? To create an interesting painting? For the viewer to still recognize the painting as “still life?” I am a little bit lost right now, so you see how much I would like to stay with this, even if it is to finish my question. What am I asking?
Theme Thursday prompt: Tree
I’ve been looking
At trees all summer
I want to capture them
I want to keep them
I want to do a series
Of drawings of trees
Summer is almost gone
The series may be of “winter trees”
Exposed
Naked
I continue to look at trees

Annell, I LOVE the look of your site. The top photo is especially breathtaking. Wow, you live in such beauty.
I so know the feelings you express. I am over loaded right now too, no time or energy for writing. Argh. This is when I look forward to fall and winter and indoor weather – and time to write!!!!! It is on the way. I can feel it in the air in the late evening.
Trees. How wonderful. A series of winter trees would be a wonderful exploration.
I’m having fun with the theme. I just made it a dark red. I think I like it.
Thank you for your understanding. I am looking forward to the fall, too. It’s been a hot summer. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

That first photo looks like a painting. And I am forever looking at trees and asking endless questions about a life gone still.

Just like people, every tree has a story. The artist and the poet seek to capture that story, or perhaps a better wording is to release the story. Love the photos and the still life.
