we had the fox visiting this morning..
looks like she was interested in the woodchuck

A week of rain is ending today, supposedly. I wrote two new Haiku yesterday to send to Dianne.

May 25

#1 Raindrop lined web  

No obvious maker seen
   Who wears such beauty?

#2

   Softly beating green

Wet leaves shine raindrops message
            Pearl lined spider web                            

 

I used a poem at school to inspire art work with second and third grades. It was titled Raindrops.

 

         

We talked about ways to add text at the OPEN STUDIO...

I wrote this with a fine line sharpie over the acrylic circles.

more subtle than autumn's show

Summer OPEN STUDIO dates - June 15 & July 20, 1-4:00. Try some ways to utilize technology in art journaling.

 

Here's my shade garden on May 14th

This is a photo from '06, but fits the day....

    Taut umbrella deflects wet        

            Dog avoids raindrops

My wonderful, 201 pound dog, does not like to go out in the rain- ever... needs an escort to do whatever needs doing.

I printed photo with the Haiku in the center for an entry in Art Journal 2013

I found this "waste" at school last week. It makes a great template.

I used it for some doodle shapes and text in my doodle journal .
