A Glorious Day at Prairie Ridge

Today was a "Glorious Day at Prairie Ridge" for more than one reason.  I joined 3 painting buddies to paint en plein air at Prairie Ridge in Raleigh.  If  you have not been there, it is a great eco system learning station with meandering trails through the prairie grasses.  Beyond the grasses and flowers you will find  open fields, trees and a small pond.

Any way, the weather was perfect.  We had a great time - sold my painting fresh off my easel and discovered a really good taco joint for lunch.  I don't know how it gets better than that.

Have a good week!
Wendy Musser

"Sunflowers" Watercolor by Jane Hanck

 

Here is my new sunflower painting.

Sunflowers cheer you up.  They are bright and beautiful.  Their yellow petals remind me of the sun's rays which give us light and warmth which in turn helps our trees, plants, flowers and gardens to grow.  The center of the Sunflower also provides food for birds, animals and humans.  Sunflowers remind me of God's love for us.  That he provides for all our needs.  For all He has given us and continues to do so.  Whenever I paint one, I am transported into a world of beauty and wonder.  I am renewed.

Happy Easter!

Jane

"Birth", Mixed Media Painting and Poem by Lynda Chambers

 

Lynda Chambers                          Mixed Media

BIRTH

This morning I painted a prayer
First I was the moon
halved and waiting
still shining but searching
It started silver it bled to gold
edges were lost
I kneel and kiss the canvas
My face is wet in gratitude
I must bleed onto the background

I am that angel who planted you
in your mother
Mary Of God’s womb

I am agony burst into laughter

The silent second before the scream

Split open the body!
Give life!

There is a tribal rhythm of ancient hearts
that none may ignore
when they pound out your name
to enter earthly realms
for heavenly pleasures
in marriage of the missing
half of your soul

Stilled blood settles here
pulse refuses to pump
without your heart bursting over mine
Placental Embryo
Birthing requires such
concentration
and none
such decision
and none

such blood
such blood
a river sacrificed

words are made for mortals
while angels rely on miracles

Today is a miracle
today a moment ago
you were born

This morning I painted a prayer
souls calling
for
celebration!
