Peace, quiet, stillness.
Even the cicadas are mute,
calm companions. Hush.

Quilly – Acrylics dry very fast so mixing colors on canvas can be tricky. Be sure to wash your brushes very well. Never leave paint in them. You will ruin them. Pretend like you are eight years old and color outside of the lines. I’d love to see what you make.
The Thirteenth Crossing – I decided to open an Etsy Account to see how it works.
tilden talks – I had Starry Night in mind when I began.
Tom & Icy – My house is the green gem on the right.
Life with Kaishon – Nicholas is walking now and won’t keep still long enough for an nonblurry picture. I am trying again this weekend.
Write a haiku based on the week’s theme.
“The basics: Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)”

Riviting. Hey. How come I never see my name in lights? Pfft
ReplyDeleteI believe you're mistaken, Vanessa. Acrylics blend quite easily on canvas. Oil is the difficult medium. Love your haiku, though.
ReplyDeletenice. just how do you get a cicada to be quiet? smiles. enjoy the hush...
ReplyDeleteNice haiku! I love the peace and quiet, too. :)
ReplyDeleteNice, peaceful haiku for a Wednesday lunch time.

Excellent. Peaceful as haiku and lullabies.
ReplyDeleteI love how you crafted the words in this week's theme. I only hope to someday be half the poet you are!
ReplyDeleteWhen even the cicadas are quiet you really have peace and quiet. Nice Haiku :)

You'll be saying "hush" all day. Cicadas never stay quiet for long.

ReplyDeletePS: this peace and quiet is exactly what I'm hoping for on my vacation.
Congrats and all the best on your new Etsy Account. I would love some quiet time like written in your haiku. The first line is my favorite. Have a great day, Nessa.

ReplyDeleteSilence is golden... (duct tape is silver). Love it! Wish the cicadas here would shut up!!
ReplyDeleteA mute cicada? Something serious is going on here! :-)

ReplyDeleteBoy, dogs, kittens all
Running wild around the house
Can't help but smile
perfect poem for my rainy afternoon!
ReplyDeleteexcellent haiku dear, well written :)
ReplyDeleteNope, too mellow. I'd be for asking you questions and poking you to see if you were awake. You'd toss me out side and then I'd wake up the cicadas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the acrylics answer. I have been thinking about doing a bit of online study and giving it a try. Do you recommend any particular brand of paints or brushes, and why?
I actually find the cicada's song peaceful.
