A Poem & A Painting: Watercolor Nest

Jun 22 2015 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting ·0

The Summer is already a wonderful whirlwind with amazing sunsets, parties on the terrace, beach walks and fabulous clients.  All of this activity added to the fact that my assistant is in the midst of moving, means the blog updates have been fewer.  We do have some great posts planned including Wedding details and a colorful photo shoot at a client’s home.  In the meantime, please follow me on Instagram for “up-to-the-minute” updates!

Today I do have a painting to share.  I am taking a watercolor class so I will be able to paint when I travel.   It is difficult because with some colors once they are on paper they are permanent ~ eek not great for a girl that makes mistakes and is used to the forgiveness of oil paint!

Of course there is something to be said for the nearly instant gratification of watercolors 🙂  I’d love to hear what you think!

I hope you enjoy this week’s poem, I thought it had lovely imagery…

Nest 

I walked out, and the nest   
was already there by the step.  Woven basket   
of a saint   
sent back to life as a bird   
who proceeded to make   
a mess of things.  Wind   
right through it, and any eggs   
long vanished.  But in my hand it was   
intricate pleasure, even the thorny reeds   
softened in the weave.  And the fading   
leaf mold, hardly   
itself anymore, merely a trick   
of light, if light   
can be tricked.  Deep in a life   
is another life.  I walked out, the nest   
already by the step.

Wishing you a wonderful week!
xo,
Pamela
