Eskimo Blues

"Snow falls thick and cold

the Eskimo takes a deep breath

and pulls up his hood"

I really like making these little Haiku or Poems with my work now, every time I draw something I find my mind wondering to find words that would go with it.

So this is another combination of ATCs I made for a swap and a little poem to go with them.

Antler Maiden

"Deep in the Forest

I found two peaceful Doe

and captured them with paint"

I have been a bit disturbed by the Earthquake we had Saturday

and we still have aftershocks regularly throughout the day and night.

I try to get some peace and quiet by making my Art

but I am not always succesful with this

it's a creepy experience

I hope a -once in a lifetime thing- only...

Guardian Angel

" Pay attention to the whispers in your heart...

They could be your Angel speaking to you

and only those of us who will listen quietly with our hearts can hear them "

but sometimes we misunderstand their Language "

"Dream" - an entry in my Moleskine Journal

"Hold fast to dreams,

for if dreams die,

life is like a broken-winged bird

that cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams,

for when dreams go,

life is a barren field

frozen with snow"
