WHAT INSPIRATION IS...
Imagine… June’s busted out all over Lancaster County. The crickets are abuzz and the twi-light air’s thick with honeysuckle broth. It’s porch rocking weather in Amish farm country. And the old weathered stoop’s aglow in a lap top monitor pulling its pep from the silent WiFi fog.
Imagine sitting here, julip close by, roaming the palette waves flowing from Europe, Asi…
Hangin''s distractin...
As you can see from the snapshot, I’ve been busy hangin’ out in BigTown… And only just discovered that 
was featured in one of my favorite groups… The Digital Brushstrokes . Proving that I have to stop with the distractions and pay closer attention to RB, huh?
Thanks Digital Brushstrokes…. Oh…. the image they feaured’s called Pretty Enough. Also a Manhat…
I Went Away, And Then Didn't
Life intruded upon my art for some weeks recently and pulled me away. Two weeks ago it released its grip enough that posting here became possible again. And what a wonderfully supportive two weeks it’s been.. First, She Wrote In Colors was featured in both, Abstract Digital Art & Writing and by Digital Brushstrokes. Definitely COOL!
But then, Canon DSLR featured both Street Moment and …
Wheeeee! Her Colors Resonate.
Light blows through Jefferson’s Memorial, wrapping like the wind about its huge ionic columns and a writer perched on its base. She Wrote In Colors which swept through Jefferson’s Temple and her feelings… 
Yeah, the light wash is impudently intrusive, but great feelings often have dreadful manners, huh? And I sensed that she wrote about them with a pen of many colors.
Wonderfull…
Then... was when
Illios are art which mix words with images in a way that they become an inseparable idea or feeling.
Last weekend was when I did “Then”. And Then was about when my buddy Jim was with me in college and it was when, 
we were so young that we were nostalgic for the future since we’d imagined it so often that it seemed we’d spent more time there than in our relatively short pa…
I GOT DISTRACTED - OOOPS!
As you can see if you click here well, I’ve been preoccupied with a great personal loss. About_ thirty pounds_ of loss actually. And I’m determined to keep loosing and fitting myself into smaller spaces for the next three months.
Which is why I only just noticed two zippy spirit raisers. “Zippy”??? Where’d dat come from? Welllllll anywayzzzz….

Sunday Morning's Mood
The day of rest frequently comes after the night of intensity. It’s not so much a punctuation as a tilde. Huh? A tilde is that funny symbol that looks like ~. We don’t quite know what to do with it, right? It’s not like a • , nor even a smilie like :-}. Saturday nights are things we look forward to all week long. Few of us actually look forward to Sunday morning, but like the ~ …
Idea Versus Style
It’s been said that when the critic starts reviewing the scenery, the play’s in trouble.
So I worry when I get intrigued by a dramatic style… Even when it seems certain to dramatically reinforce both the idea and feeling I want to communicate… I worry that it will distract. Which is why I was reluctant to post 
I wondered if style here would overwhelm the idea in The Kid G…
