Artistic Expressions Explain The World & Our Place WithIn It

-
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” said mystic and author Thomas Merton. Either making it or soaking it in visually, the wonders we find here on Earth capture our imaginations and stimulate our senses. We often are left speechless in the wake of our pondering. Some things simply are not understood through ordinary language. Examining our surroundings through mathematical equations, poetic reflections, music or with camera in hand can be more revealing. For artist Georgian Perkins Hunt paintbrush and canvas bring a glimmer of inner knowing to light. I spotted her umbrella, shimmering over the sea, at Crescent Beach recently. She had just gotten started with her current project but I was delighted to discover many of her completed works HERE. I'm sure she'd be pleased if you had a look.

    Hello,
    I can easily soak visually the wonders of our earth. I love the quote "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Lovely capture of the artist. Take care, enjoy your day!

    You know people surprise you. My mother, the whole time I was growing up, told us that when she retired, she was going to learn how to paint because she had a bunch of paintings in her head that she needed to get out. And we would go, oh sure (she was Irish and had a bit of the blarney about her.) And you know something, that is exactly what she did, she took lessons and then painted scene after scene of mountains, the desert southwest, and other things. It was amazing and she just said, I told you what I was going to do.

    Georgina creating her works of art while standing under her umbrella ...she is Penelope’s soulmate! I followed the link. Just wonderful...I’m so glad she found her inspiration in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

    Without Art, the world will not just be a boring place but also not as functional as it is. there will be no sense of fulfillment since fulfillment i believe comes from the beauty that we see in things and situations and that requires art! Thank you so much for this beautiful realization Penelope :)

    In an age of computerized manipulation of just about everything, original art is more of a joy than it ever was. Would that I had that kind of creativity in me.

The Couch Art Where Bernie Came To Visit

 "On the Web we all become small-town visitors lost in the big city." - Alison Gopnik President Joe Biden's inauguration was bursting with inspirational speeches and events.  Heaven knows many who now breathe a sigh of relief also needed a good laugh.  That's when  Bernie stepped in with his cool attitude and awesome mittens.  I couldn't resist joining so many others who included him in various ways in different spaces. I think he looks super cute and cozy on a sofa designed for the cover art of my Couch & Company  story. Hope you enjoy it and explore more of the artistic side of life at  Paint Party Friday .   Still the kid I used to be Visit Postcards From Penelope Puddle and Penelope Puddlisms: BC Life Is A Whale Of A Ride to view more West Coast scenes.

The Door To Forest Magic At Sandy Trail

-
Image
There it was ... a bright dollop of sunshine in a tangle of forest greens, browns and silvery grays. The yellow door snuggled against a tree said Fairy Hall and, in tiny faint lettering beneath, No Trolls . Oh, how I'd love to know what goes on inside Fairy Hall. I wanted to tap on the door but, a giant by comparison, I didn't want to cause a scare. I often take the Sandy Trail with its gravelly path, woodsy stumps, well-trod stairs, rabbits, birds and squirrels. I know every twist and rustling sound. But I hadn't noticed the small door before. This unexpected bit of whimsy magic tucked into the forest floor made me curious about what else was in the mysterious thicket I'd yet to explore. When I continued on my way, the trees leaned in ... as if they had something to say. Later, I found another fairy door (below), welcoming but only to a select few.

Fanning The Flames Of Extreme Weather

Rain puddles vanished and a blast of scorching heat settled over B.C. recently, including in my region which reached 105  ° F at one point. Records were broken. (About 145 miles northeast in Lytton it was over 120 degrees; the entire village caught fire.) The air outside felt like a thick wall of hot steel. All fans were on duty indoors. The weather foretold of the wasteland that will arrive sooner rather than later if carbon emissions are not majorly reduced. Dozens of mostly elderly didn't survive the wake up call. At this writing, the heat is far less intense, thankfully. A sweet sense of normalcy has returned and the slight morning chill sits on my shoulders like a delicate shawl.    In my neighbourhood, the birds are singing again and searching for treats.  A different kind of wave also hit us all. I was relieved to get my second shot "to knockout Covid" on Canada Day . It was a perfect way to celebrate July 1st.   Explore more at OUR WORLD . Still the kid I used
