Squeak Carnwath

"imagination is the mind's freedom"
I love this painter, and first saw her work when I was living in California.  I found this video on my morning's internet wanderings on the blog, Painter's Bread.

try this...here's mine


http://bentlily.com/instapoem/
I used to worry I was scared
I used to believe life was unknown
I used to wish I was carefree
confident
aggressive.
Then one day
I looked out my window
and saw a tree
a stark
bare
perfect tree.
I nearly choked
on the epiphany
we arrive inside
an envelope
of bones
there is nothing to be done
about this
so fill it with persistence
let it brim
with success.

more nest building




here's a look at how things begin
these are small, 6x6"
I am using a metallic ground again as a base layer- its a dark bronze
I love the creamy white on top, almost edible
