Phenomena

👁️ HI SISTERS! WITHOUT A DOUBT, ALWAYS WHEN I HAVE FIND AN AUTHOR EXPERIMENTING HER OWN TECHNIQUE, I HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF A TALENTED ARTIST.

In a book club with friends, we are reading At the Existentialist Café by Sarah Bakewell. It is a challenging book. More than a century ago, in the university town of Freiburg, in the south east corner of Germany, Edmund Husserl drew on earlier philosophers and developed the philosophy of phenomenology.

In brief, this is a method of philosophical exploration, to describe things, i.e. phenomena, as we experience them, reaching out into the world with our minds (termed intentionality) and applying a tool called epoché to boil away second hand or received ideas. Phenomenology sidesteps old philosophical questions about the nature of the mind or of reality by looking instead at the interface between the mind and reality.

Sitting at a table, looking at a vase of flowers, I tried to clear my mind. I drew in white conte crayon on white paper without looking. I…

Cliff Hanger: a waltz wave poem

⛰️🖐🏻 HELLO HONEYS! THIS LESLEY’S WORK PERFECTLY ILLUSTRATES HER WONDERFUL WORDS.

LesleyScoble.com

This week’s # Whatdoyousee image is of a woman in a precarious predicament on a steep slope. The prompt is to write an original story, poem or a caption, inspired by this image.

My response to Sadje’s #WDYS prompt is to write a waltz wave poem. I think this poetic format lends itself to slipping… falling down a cliff.

⚓ ⛵ HELLO SISTERS! HOW PRECIOUS IS THE COAST, ESPECIALLY IN THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR.

Mallaband-Brown

The day is coming when I have to take my painting ‘coast’ into the Burslem School of Art so that it can be hung for the three counties open. I hope it will be OK and be displayed in a good place.

I’m thinking of doing a series of these paintings in this style. I might do some images based on the pottery factories in this city. Stoke-on-Trent is known as the ‘Potteries’ and it might be good to celibate its history. I will see.

Aletha Kuschan's Weblog

Drawings are vicarious experiences of nature. There’s the nature out there. Also there’s the nature in here. Nature from the inside is sometimes a landscape. And one of the landscapes that I particularly enjoy is the one that is spacious.

This one is doubly spacious because the water mirrors the sky so you get some sky twice. And actual sky and water are pretty similar anyway.

Oh, and then there’s the blue. Blue is the best.

“The Magnolia Box”

👃🏻HELLO LOVELIES! TODAY CATHERINE, OFFERS US, THIS WORK OF DELICATE PALETTE OF COLOURS. A TRUE WONDER FULL OF FRAGRANCE.

CATHERINE J MARTZLOFF / Bright and Expressive Original Oil Paintings

“The Magnolia Box” 16″ x 20″ oil on canvas – $1100

Spring always feels abundant when my magnolia tree is in bloom. In seasons past we have been hit with a late frost so the pink wonder never gets to share it’s beauty. This year it did!

I was inspired by a friend of mine to clip some of the branches from my magnolia tree and create an interesting still life arrangement that we could both work on in my studio. This is the outcome! I loved the beautiful glass box she brought it felt like it was a piece that marked a bit of vintage history for me. It had this 1920’s vibe to it that also worked in the context of a magnolia. The tree itself is of “vintage” age in it’s 40+ years of life.

This is the general set-up we were working from. I did need…

Watercolor Flowers

🚁 🌷💮🌺🌻 HELLO BEAUTIES! TODAY WE’RE LANDING FOR BEING ABLE TO SEE FLOWERS AND PRECIOUS DETAILS OF NATURE.

lifewithlilred

Hello! My mom, sister, and I learned the joys of watercolor painting after taking a class together last July. It was so much fun and it inspired my mom and I to take it up as a hobby. I even treated all of us to an at home class last month as an early birthday gift for my mom! During our at home class, our wonderful teacher conducted a painting session on roses and I am so proud of my mom for her dedication to practicing watercolor in her downtime. This past week, I was finally able to paint with her during a visit and decided to see what I could remember of painting roses. I also tried my hand at pansies! Check it out:

I like to fancy myself as a creative person in terms of writing, fashion, and figure skating. However, I have never considered myself an artistic…

Small Seeds Produce Sweet Fruit

🌳🍎🍇🍏 HELLO SISTERS! ALL OF YOU KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT HISTORY SOME STYLES HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS STILL LIFE AND OTHERS, FOR EXAMPLE, AS LANDSCAPE. WELL, TODAY WE HAVE A FUSION BETWEEN THESE.

Digital Rabbit Hole

                                    “Bountiful” by Dale Innis on Midjourney

*(Few things are better than to receive a phone call
from someone in the past and they say,
“Thank you for what you did for me back then, when no one
wanted to intervene, you gave me a hand…”
and 20 30 40 years later, I never forgot you.)*

Even the smallest seeds planted in the ground
can sprout a lifetime memory.
Even some small favor on your part,
could mean the world for the one that did receive.

How hard is it to carry those good deeds
like seeds in your pocket and when you see a need,
just take a few minutes out and plant a tree?.

How difficult might it be, to believe that every selfless
act that you commit, affects those around you in need
and not just for the moment but for eternity?”

Then years later, the fruits…
