MARION CHAPMAN'S PASTELS FOUND IN KAUAI!!
MARION CHAMPMAN is a wonderful artist and a lover of patterns and design.. Printmaking and experimenting with all kinds of materials and colors.. she really turns my head.. Marion… truth be told.. Kauai is not a very pastel-y place.. so I took my photo and gave it a Marion Wash.. I love this shot..I do not know what this is but I spent some time with this guy..It was a very tall tree and that is how the leaves grow on it.. no branches!!
Marion’s Chapman’s Pastels inspired Maddy of Smudge ARt Fame to write a most lovely lovely piece.. My gratitude for the Love here is ever growing.. Thank YOu Maddy!
What beauty is this I behold ?
“A feast to ones eye”, I am told.
Leaves wrapped in soft hues.
Colors of gold, red and spiritual blues.
“A tree without branches ”, she did say.
Just leaves that enfold it in every way.
Lina sad, this tree amazed me so,
I could not look at it and just let it go.
It inspired me until I returned home,
In my minds eye, this is the tone.
I know Creator left this for me to do,
So I painted it gold, red and spiritual blue.

Lara… I looked for you and found you.. but.. your tree will have to wait for the next trip.. my brother was driving and so damn sick of me saying. .”oh oh uuuoohuu STOP STOP.. PULL OVER.. ’ by the time i saw your perfect tree while driving .. he sped past and I felt like he would give me that older brother look.. so know when I give you the second best.. and it is beautiful like you.. I did see you.. but you hid from me.. like you do here.. and so I will get you next time.. btw.. you are a long way from town.. a lonely sweet thing.. in the middle of nowhere… xox
