drawing challenge / swim

i am not a very good swimmer

i don't like indoor pools at all

outdoor pools are fine but i don't own one

i like swimming in a river or a lake, but none suitable for this in my neighborhood

i love looking at the sea

Rachel is this week's host , a theme that suits her, lithe and lively,

please go to her blog for some more swimming

i wanted to show you an older gouache but decided this morning to make something 

new for this challenge, that's the real challenge isn't it,

barely dry and quickly painted,

 swim, swim

have a nice weekend

elderberries

I have been picking elderberries today,

 beneath a sky of sun and clouds

thoughts swirling through my head

i see faces i saw last evening and night

hear words that were spoken

there are thoughts and images of love

and war, about a baby that was born in Syria today

about its mother

about insight and insanity... 

and than while zipping the berries from there stems

there's rest, a peaceful mind and colour, nothing but colour

and the wind blowing through my hair

later in the kitchen i see tomorrow's full (blue) moon before i start stirring

slowly

and still a little later there is a kind of contentement

and some berries left on the tree for the birds

tangled angel in my kitchen

pack of playing cards.
