- Early Morning
A Stone: One daily observation.
Early Morning
From the studio
A pink light washed in gold
A gentle rain awakens the morning sleeper.
*Note: I glanced to the left and saw the colors of pink and gold announcing the new day. Grabbed my camera and captured the colors through the studio window. If you look closely, there are rain drops on the glass.

Sunday Whirl: Wordle #18 http://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/
Texture
Texture on the mind of the painter
Color is always my first thought
The first element of my concern
Spinning to the full spectrum
I slouch back
Screw up by face
Survey the work
In the well lighted studio
The surface is cleansed
Of any rough texture
Like granite or other stone
The paint is as smooth as a second skin
Like the skin found on my Grandmother’s arm
Just above the elbow
Perhaps in the revolution
I will leave color behind
With desperation
I will seek texture
Among the ash and ruin
Nothing will be wasted
Hair and bone
Marble dust and gel
All the tricks to accomplish cracks
Even the cheap ones
*Note: I have been thinking of writing about texture as it appears in my work for dVerse. I will post this write to dVerse, too.

Oh, I see the raindrops! They are like the “perfect flaw” in a Chinese painting–making the photograph more immediate and real. What a gorgeous view to wake to!
You are quite the early morning photographer, Annell. And yes, I do see the raindrops on the glass, which only enhance the ‘realness’ of the photo.
Thanks Mary! Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

lovely poem thank you and your photo is beautiful how lucky to capture it !
A really poignant expression of art and the artist. I loved it!
I like what you did with the words from the wordle. I think we all need ‘texture’ in our lives.
The texture is rich, like oil paint on canvas.
The pictures invoked are vivid and strong.
Lovely use of the prompt
Among the ash and ruin
Nothing will be wasted
Hair and bone
Marble dust and gel
As a painter I particularly enjoyed those lines and thought that was NM (I’ve lived there off and on and have family there). Thanks.
Im with Anna for the same reason – a fantastic contribution and reaction to the prompt.
such an enjoyable read and your artwork expanded the whole experience.
thankyou

Love the splashes there on the window, creating, adding texture to the smooth silky colors of your image. Beautiful post.
Love the new header photo.
I saw the first raindrop and thought it was the last star still in the sky. The photo is incredibly beautiful Annell, and every one you take makes me want to get up and get there to see them. And I too am glad to hear the voice of the painter. The poem is chuck full of the emotions of creativity in the the painter’s singular jargon. Love it,
Elizabeth

Wonderful write, Annell.

This made me want to paint! I loved it!
Your poem early morning is a prayer.
I am amazed how you were able to blend texture and the words offered by the wordle so skilfully. Both color and texture are my two favorites. Thanks for joining this to the prompt at dVerse. Victoria
Wow, you whirled me through the techniques with your Wordle, and put quite a sting in the tail. Bravo!
Beautiful photo, Annell; the raindrops add a sense of foreground perspective we wouldn’t have otherwise.
The poem is wonderful too; almost makes me want to try my hand at painting again. 🙂
