Daff Odile…

March 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

My friend Susan calls one morning to tell me about seeing some buttercups across town. I point out that over this way I hadn’t seen any yet, she agrees.
H’m… I had been painting this little yellow bird right about then.
Anyhow a few days later upon taking a break outside, I spot O’Miss Daff Odile under the dogwood, a bright sunny face just like the Wilton Warbler getting painted inside.

Well, once Daff got together with Warb it has been "daffy down dilly" around here!

Kalidio is my play on the word "kaleidoscope".
This optical instrument when rotated it creates a
succession of symmetrical designs based on the interplay of light, reflection and color.
Most flowers are dynamic symmetrical shapes constantly shifting colors and patterns.
They are like happy "living-kaleidoscopes" flashing bits of color!

Song for Heroes,

Soul by © Lisa Rivas
Soul,
 sombra, mi SOL 

Share a song!
Say so long to Solace.
Show your soul to the sun.
Silence to the shadows.
Some sounds are so soft
and some so very strong.
Salute to those that sing
for they are the heroes!

Commence once more,

Daylight lengthens,
Sunshine stretches and spreads,
Buds raise their faces towards radiant rays.
Dormant seeds begin to open and emerge forth.
Newborns appear, arise, bud, come out, dawn and emerge.
For now the days have widen and swelled letting spring happen again…

Beginning

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
