Strong, unrefined thistle, I am a violet, small and beautiful and prolific and useful. I am grapes, succulent and juicy and wine, complex and warming. I am Mom's afghan, cozy and soft. I am the evening sky, like velvet, stunning, beautiful. I am purple.K.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01130341020253398626noreply@blogger.comBlogger89125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845584784546731529.post-6092778634489506052020-05-09T11:06:00.003-04:002020-05-09T11:06:53.357-04:00Fun with Watercolor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

An ocean of corn as far as the eye can see. Undulating lines of trees and wandering creeks. Overlain by an unrelenting grid of gravel roads. The loess hills. Towering ochre bluffs covered with the last remnants of the long dominated prairie.K.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01130341020253398626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845584784546731529.post-10347856283664833352017-01-24T14:58:00.001-05:002017-01-24T14:58:25.134-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The very first time I've ever used canvas...a little scary! I didn't want to ruin the expensive canvas, so I painted the whole canvas black just to get over my fear. <br />
This was painted a couple years ago and given to the son of a very good friend. It's called Steer.<br />
The rings around the planet are made of wire. The sails are made from orange tissue paper. And the sign is made from a small piece of cardboard and says Steer. The rest is acrylic paint on canvas.K.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01130341020253398626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845584784546731529.post-17138946925594325452013-05-01T14:53:00.000-04:002013-05-01T14:53:20.335-04:00Hope<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hopeless? No, not really. If I were truly hopeless, I would give up. Let the water take me under. Release my fingers from the edge of the precipice. Sleep and sleep forever. But I don’t. There is always something to keep struggling for, even if it’s only a willow-the-wisp on the edge of my peripheral vision. A faint remembered smell that used to bring the glitter of inspiration to my eyes. A ghost of a song that used to make me dance. The feather-light caress of a lover’s hand. I clutch at them like the vestiges of a dream upon waking. I will NOT give up. Though my body throbs. Though my mind is spent. And my heart aches. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can see the tree. The vastness of it. The
height. From the top, I knew I would be able to see forever. The breeze would
tug at my hair, the sun warming my pale skin. The thrill of being so high would
send shivers down my spine. Elation. Giddiness. Splendor. But I’m not in the
tree. I’m not even preparing for the long climb. I’m not enjoying the sweet
aroma of the apples or listening to the leaves rustling in the gentle wind. I’m
treading water in the churning river beneath the tree. Whirlpools threatening
to pull me under into the dark frigid water. The memory of the blissful view
disappeared like the shriveling rotten fruit. The tree disappears. The shore
disappears. All I see is water. Desperate and hopeless, I struggle to move my
leaden limbs. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

laugh? Should I be holding it together
better? Don't ever get angry. Why can't I just be me? The facade is cracking. Like so much plaster in an ancient abandoned
house. A house full of memories. Full of ghosts. Full of the emotions I have internalized
throughout the long years. Why is it
always my fault? Why do I always screw
it up. The facade has cracked because
the foundation is crumbling. The walls
which held everything I believed to be true.
The truth has begun to penetrate like rays of sun through the cracks in
the façade. The welcome truths. The harsh, unrelenting truths. Pelting me.
Soothing me. Shaking me to the
core. If I survive this earthquake, who
will I be? </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: 1.05pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">In this
world, the place where dreams and songs and colors, aromas and movement, morph
and change to things that cannot be, in this world, I am at home. The tie-died
sky shifts with my laughter. The smell of purple dances to my unabashed music.
The ebony notes cause lily-of-the-valley to bloom when they land in the
charming grass. The bell flowers tinkling their own tune, radiating their heady
fragrance. Strawberry leaves flutter and fall in the chocolate breeze. As the
champagne bubbles fall from the sky, each one with a captive snoring star, I
recognize the flower’s melody. It is the sound of the earth sighing. I twist
and leap to the cotton sound. With no gravity to maintain my connection to reality,
I float into the kaleidoscope sky, buoyant and dazzled.</span></div>
