I owe you two weeks worth so here they are!
Color me pretty
The white space said to the brush
No expectations
No comparisons
When assessing our talents
Each have unique gifts
Comparisons bring
Nothing but insecure thoughts
Throw them to the wind
Creativity
It is such a juggling act
To fit it all in
A blank white canvas
Causes me apoplexy
Quick, apply color!
Don’t throw it away!
Make the boo-boo the focus
It usually works!
Relinquish control
Use the tool with abandon
See, no harm no foul
Butterflies flitting
Birds singing their happy tunes
Spring’s sweet smell wafting
The grass grows in tufts
Creating undulation
In the green carpet
Phlox grows between rocks
Their beautiful, rich colors
Seeking attention
Pink, pink and more pink
In varying shades abound
Spring speaks in pink tones
Gardener’s delight
Knowing the planting season
Has knocked on their door
Dandelions grow
Creating yellow patches
Pretty but pesty
Playgrounds come to life
With the sights and sounds of tots
Cooped up way too long
Creatively springy hugs, Margie

Oh, if only I could make more boo boos work for me. Great set of poetry and photos. Is that your watercolor art? They are beautiful!
Thanks Fergiemoto! Yes, they are mine. Free spirited and a bit of collage which helped. I feel like I struggle when it comes to painting in just about any medium. I try though. I adore it all. My actual drawings skills are not good. Struggle, struggle.
Beautiful haiku touches, I loved them dear Margie, you are so nice. Thanks and Love, nia

Thanks for thinking of me catbird! I really do appreciate it.
What words, art, and photos, all very lovely Margie!
margie – i love the “you have to be yourself and not compare” ones – and the “get the white paper wet” ones the best. i had a watercolor painting teacher who told us not to buy expensive paper because then we would not want to make mistakes on it or get going. “one of your jobs as a painter is to cover the white,” he would say. ah. i need to post about him. one day. joy to you!
I will look forward to hearing about him. As artists and creative types, it does us no good to compare. It is like keeping up with the Joneses which I never bought into either.
Such a beautiful post and such gentle paintings.
Aw thank you so much. I like the “gentle” part.
Very thoughtful post, Margie. Beautiful words, paintings, and photographs. Well done! đŸ˜‰
Thank you so much Marcy.
Oh yes I like the ‘relinquish control’ – and celebrate creativity! Beautiful art indeed. Many thanks.
Thank YOU Dilip! Glad it spoke to you.
Happy sunday!
Very nice Margie! Hope you are enjoying your Sunday doing what makes your heart happy. đŸ™‚
