  7. Almost a picture of all 4 seasons; the nest being Spring, the berries for Autumn , the bare branches leafless of Winter. Beautiful.

  9. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  11. M. – Since I was little I liked to visualize and create things. Painting with watercolors is what makes me happy now. That, and spending time gardening and reading. I love long walks, biking, and the beach.

  16. 2ndhalfolife – In the second (or really third?) half of my life now. Moving into the more crone stage: out of my head, into my soul. My magic is returning after many years of having lost it to the streets of life. There have been some very dark times, but these have made my journey rich with the stuff of possibility. Because out of darkness has come the glittering beauty of illumination. It has come with struggle and toil, and not without help--but I am here, and I am mostly in tact, and I'm here to share the rest of this journey with you all if you care to join me.......

  22. What a surprising picture, the abandoned bird’s nest nestled into the abundant harvest of berries. Wondering what those berries might be – serviceberries, perhaps? This would make a beautiful holiday greeting card.

    Reply

    1. Hmm. Serviceberries I’m not familiar with those but I love the name. These are crabapples. A lovely tree with pink blossoms in the spring. It attracts many birds including a pileated woodpecker who visits it most every morning.

      1. Crabapples! They look so beautiful and smooth like cherries. Serviceberries are out because they ripen in early fall and would be entirely consumed by wildlife by now. You might know them as Juneberries. They are the earliest white blossoms in the woods in spring.

  27. Beautiful capture and great words to go with it! The contrast is great between the bright berries and the delicate twigs of the nest 🙂
