drawing challenge / vacation


Far away
Vast beaches, palm trees swaying in a salty breeze,
long walks, listening to the sound of the sea, becoming part of that sea,
reading books, reading a few paragraphs and letting them
penetrate the mind even deeper watching out across the water,
total rest.
This is a vacation image i use sometimes when i can't get to sleep.
It usually works :)


Laying in a field of poppies in a summer garden
may just have that effect.


The beautiful and cute Greta made us go on vacation,
take a look at where we all headed.


Happy weekend! x

    Dear Renilde,

    first: Message from Rachel via iPhone: 'Greta and I won't be able to post by the morning'. Because of a storm, internet is down at their house.
    So, she ask me to filling in for her as our host. I do.

    *sigh*
    *sigh*
    It works...
    I slow down while looking at your paintings, feel the soft breeze on my skin, taking deep breathes.
    Laying (naked!)in a field of poopies must be wonderful!
    Thank you,
    x Ariane.

    I can imagine that it feels great
    to lay down in a bed of poppies

    Well now, you have given me beauty, art, mystery, vacation imaginations, something to help me sleep, all wide open in my creative spirit. I'd say this is a perfect post.

    Lady Poppy Dreams is out of this world special.

    Loving the new header too.

    Thank you, for sharing. Happy weekend.

    to be immersed in a field of poppies, that would certainly do it for me too, if not for the hallucinating effect alone... ;)))
    bedazzled i'd feel, instead of christmas cranberries; fiery red poppies!

    I love love love love the field of poppies. This wouldn''t be for sale would it?. I'd even be happy to buy a print. Just glorious!
