BRUSHSTROKES

Broad brushstrokes of blue and gray
flow to greet the perfect day.
The meandering swipes of teal
mirror how you make me feel.
The foaming white swells drift apart
as your kiss lingers in my heart.
My fingers reach for the brush,
but I tell my mind to hush.
No painting needed today
to capture the perfect day.
Nature speaks of the time
when you were only mine.

LET THE MAGIC FLOW

Let the colors splatter and merge.

No need to mourn the mess.

Magic flows from the artist’s hand.

Beauty to soothe one’s stress.

AN ARTIST’S PALETTE

AN ARTIST’S PALETTE

Nature leaves an artist’s imprint

on all that it reaches.

Waves of the ocean can appear

in the coldest reaches.

Nature’s colorful palette

extends from the sky to beaches.

We might try to copy nature’s soft stroke,

but we must listen to what it teaches.

THE PICTURE

rexisky

Art comes alive with the artist’s stroke.

It bounces from the white page

in alternating shades of the rainbow.

The green eyes entice and ensnare.

The fur flows and ebbs in blues and pink.

It has stepped out from the mere page

to come alive for me and you.

A WHISPER

spoutziki-art

Henri Martin, Mystic Scene, 1895

In the quiet.

There is a hum.

A whispering sound.

A pitch too high to hear.

A touch too light to feel.

We are never alone.

 

EMPTY INSIDE?

By Rhaevyn Hart

Do you feel empty inside?

Nothing to offer the world.

No words of wisdom to share.

No pretty pictures to paint.

No music to play.

This isn’t true.

Everyone has something to offer.

Whether it’s good food or fun.

Laughter, or just love. 

We all have something to offer.

Let no one make you feel unimportant.

We all have important roles to play in life.

What is yours?

JESS AND WIGGLE — A NEW BOOK FROM TALENTED AUTHOR, UVI POZNANSKY

I would like to present a 5 star review of Uvi Poznansky’s new book, Jess and Wiggle. Uvi is a talented author and artist. Her words flow like water in a bubbling stream.

This review is from: Jess and Wiggle (Kindle Edition)

Uvi Poznansky wears a coat of many colors. Originally from Israel where she studied Architecture and Town Planning then moving to the US where she studied Computer Science and became an expert in Software Engineering, Poznansky managed to combine the design elements of two studies into unique formats. And she has accomplished the same with the other side of her brain – making visual her ideas (she is an accomplished painter, drawer, and sculptor who has enjoyed exhibitions both in Israel and in California, her present base) and making words in poetry and in short stories and children’s books.
JESS AND WIGGLE is one of her newest and freshest books yet. More concerned with the visual than the story Uvi provides all the illustrations for this delightful little rhyming tale – richly colored hand made collages as well as paintings adorn these beautiful and fanciful pages.
The story concerns young Jess who rarely smiles and never laughs until she encounters Wiggle, a ribbon like creature with whom she interacts In myriad ways in a test of who will laugh. Of course the winner is the recalcitrant Jess, but it is the artistic fun things she does with Wiggle that make the reader laugh way before Jess gives in!
This is another treasure form Uvi Poznansky – a perfect entertainment and lesson for children and adults alike. Grady Harp, August 15

OH ERTE

Erte; The Precious Stones; Sapphire c.1969

Oh Erte.
The grace and elegance
of your art.
The master of your craft.
The precision of details.
The combination of colors.
The impeccable designs.
The lover of the human form.
The lover of a woman’s form.
We thank you, Erte.

THE WATCHFUL EYE

The beauty.
The colors.
The design.
The fine details.
The watchful eye.
No picture can be painted
or statue created to capture
this perfection,
this awe-inspiring wonder.
Here’s to the creator.

A LIVING, BREATHING CREATURE

Life is a sculpture.
Life is a living, breathing creature.
It entices us.
It bemuses us.
It challenges us.
But most of all,
it inspires us.

DALI AT HIS WEIRD BEST

rainingbluefloyd:

Dalì, Swans Reflecting Elephants. 1937.

No one can create a picture like Dali.
A picture with hidden meanings about his many obsessions.
The more you stare at it, the more you can see.
Disturbing images from Dali’s youth.
Could that be Dali standing off to the left side
by himself, with his hands in his pockets,
staring off into space?
A man who never fit in with his peers or society.
A man who used his demons to create works of art.

WORK OF ART

blackoutraven:

WHAT’S IN A DROP OF WATER?
IT MAY LOOK CLEAR AND EMPTY,
BUT IT CARRIES
ORGANISMS OR ALGAE.
IT MIGHT LOOK SIMPLE BUT IT’S COMPLEX.
NONE OF NATURE’S CREATIONS SHOULD
EVER BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
EACH CREATION IS A UNIQUE
WORK OF ART OF ITS OWN.

INSPIRATION

ENOUGH OF THE SAD AND DEPRESSING THOUGHTS.
LET’S LOOK AT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING.

IT IS BOTH AND MUCH MORE.
