Or A Different Chair
Have a seat…
Catch your breath or let it go!
i’ve come to post and an auto-update, i think? has changed the settings and i can’t find where to upload the featured image. The one that appears in the email and on the homepage (one of 4).
Once you click through here it should look fine. But, it makes me ponder, what did i do to myself? Using this word press blog? There must be an easier way… i’m not loving it today. And there were other frustrations with my other web hosting choice, just different, not sudden changes, unexpected disappearing functions.
The pace of change, when you do it all yourself… its a holiday weekend, the end of summerrrrrrrrrr and i’m trying to simply post. Hmmm after many things fought me today, Oh its frustrating!
And there was also a big blessing, a gift, and it was beautiful out. And i am grateful that the face of my house is not falling off like the elder up the street whose house is gradually falling down. He must not be able to afford help to fix it. More bricks fell today. He meticulously cleans them up and patches in the holes with scrap wood cut to fit and painted to match.
Yesterday, when you lost something and while you looked for it near the garden edge bending over, you heard a loud buzzing sound, only to look up and see a brilliant tiny green hummingbird 2 feet away drinking nectar from a bean blossom.
Yes, Lisa, focus on that!
& this week’s pub drawings below.
When you find yourself in a tussle, with things beyond your immediate control, can you catch it and let it go? What helps you to de stress when faced with a group of frustrating circumstances?
I’ve commented recently about how much I like your expressive line drawings from the pub. This time, though, I need to express enthusiasm for today’s feature drawing (if it’s any comfort, after all of your tech-angst experiences, everything looks perfectly normally laid out on the page, to me, by the way.)
Your color images are always just bursting with an animated energy, Lisa, and this one especially exhibits that energy.
This painting reminds me of something like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence in “Fantasia.” Although it’s a 2-dimensional static image, it really feels ready to start dancing around. The chair–a skeleton that’s jangled loosely together with its own innate and dynamic internal magnetism–is reaching to tap the lamp, which has an organic quality about it, a lithe dancer, perhaps, who has been enchanted into lamp form. The colors, the interplay of the various elements…the whole thing just exudes incredible positive energy, a gentle light-spirited magic that is entirely captivating. Bravo!
I’m sorry you’ve been having a rough time today, and hope tomorrow is better.
Thank you Kathy, i really appreciate your wonderfully descriptive responses to my work, Wow! i love knowing that you receive it as you describe. It really helps and despite my slow response it means a lot to me.
On the tech issue, the actual blog page was showing up the way i wanted but there was no small image on the home page or in the email that went out to notify of a new blog post. The featured image function reappeared the next day. This is the first chance i’ve had to correct it and respond, phew what a week, traveling daleward soon…
To be continued 😉
