30 In 30, Day Six

Wooo Whoo! I managed to paint first thing this morning. Now if I can just remember to post it to Leslie’s site. I forgot to do that yesterday. Have a super day everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate hearing from you!

Pear Tree by Hilda Doolittle

Silver dust
lifted from the earth,
higher than my arms reach,
you have mounted,
O silver,
higher than my arms reach
you front us with great mass;
no flower ever opened
so staunch a white leaf,
no flower ever parted silver
from such rare silver;
O white pear,
your flower-tufts
thick on the branch
bring summer and ripe fruits
in their purple hearts.

What’s in a name? that which we call a pear
By any other name would taste as sweet;

I know that is not how Shakespeare wrote it, but it works don’t you think? Day five for Leslie Saeta’s September 30 paintings in 30 days Challenge. I decided to return to a favorite, and there may be a few more of these. Who can resist. I love pears.

I hope you will take a look at all of the great art that is being presented. I just want to visit every artist’s site and tell them how much I enjoy their work, but with so many involved, that may be impossible. I do hope that those of you who visit my site will connect with me here, or on Facebook or LinkedIn. I’d love to keep up with your work.

I started packing today for my stay in Escondido. Still debating about taking my scanner. I am sort of addicted to my scanner. I started a 12 x 12 canvas. Laid in a sky and ocean. Not sure yet where it is going, but it’s a beginning.

My painting today is a 4 x 6 postcard, for the Milliande’s Art Community for Women, Birthday Postcard exchange I am a part of. It is watercolor on card stock. ( I recycled some blank cards I had by turning them inside out.)

Sadly, I received word today that the site is going to be gone soon. Milliande will be continuing some of the groups. And I am hoping that my group will decide to carry on together, at least until the end of the year. My birthday is in January, and I received such gorgeous cards. I will continue to send them for the remaining birthdays no matter what happens.

Keeping it short today, trying to meet a submission deadline – wish me luck. 🙂
