Verde = verdure

April 18, 2008 · 1 Comment

Now exposed are the "inner awakenings" of the young tender leaves.
A revival, pale and fresh that will gracefully mist over, ever so far.

As a green woven mantle it will clothe the bare and dormant branches,
draping them in cloaks of a flowing and leafy splendor.

Then further robing fields and gardens with abounding hues of "verdant growth."

Miel…

April 17, 2008 · 1 Comment

Rich and golden… Pure, miraculous and healing… Sweet, delicious and healthy…
…the syrup produced by bees from the nectar of flowers and then stored as food/energy.
A "Spoonful of Honey" a day keeps free radicals at bay.

Honey has impressive levels of disease-fighting antioxidants.

The frail and ailing Parrot Tulips had an "overnight success story" when their flaming portraits appeared on a couple of web-eStamps.

Dormancy…

April 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
On the sounds of falling rain.
Sleep beautiful seed, sleep.

Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;
You are care, and care must keep you.
For you will soon be rising.
Sleep wonderful seed, sleep.
A variation on the lullaby "Golden Slumbers" written by the poet and dramatist, Thomas Dekker

Dormir = to sleep : dormant = lying asleep; latent; inactive

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!
