In the Meantime, Poppies…

March 24th, 2007

"Poppies" is acrylic paint on acrylic paper, about 8"x10".

I'm quiet right now because I can't keep a secret for very long (it's a fun one). I'll be back tomorrow with a fun story. In the meantime, some springy flowers for you.

I missed 2 days of mp's. Doh! But I did my artist's date, taking myself for a long, long, long, overdue haircut and shopping with a Christmas gift card, much fun. I walked a few times and I'm just loving the warm weather. It's supposed to snow tonight. Boo! But it shouldn't stick around for long, I hope. Hope your weekend is fun and full of wonderful surprises!

Oh I love happy surprises! The poppies are so bright and cheery. Hope you’re having a great weekend, too – even with snow predicted, it sounds like you’re having a good time. Enjoy!

Beautiful poppies Leah!

Secrets burn holes in your pockets?

There must be a more apt metaphor but I can’t find it right now… my head is in a strange space…

“Pooooopppppiiiieeessss” (The Wizard of Oz). I love poppies. They come up, last a day and are gone. Sometimes they don’t come up. But it’s always a treat when they do.

No fair teasing about the secret…esp. when I can’t sit beside you and say: oh come on, I can keep it – just tell me. =]

Morning pages are the one thing I’m managing on this journey – loving that I’m back to them.

thanks for the poppies! one of my favorite flowers, and a former nickname of mine was “poppy”. it’s a beautiful piece. caught up on your latest entries and love them. i think it’s so wonderful how you open up and share both the good and bad going on in your life. over-all it seems life is going so well for you. yay!
the walk sounded WONDERFUL and renewing. love looking at old graveyards. and i think it was sweet the way you described the detail in the one headstone.
thanks for sharing it all.
take care.

hi Leah – I love coming over here for a visit – you and your posts are Muse-like – reminding me of what I truly value – I am certainly creative everyday – but true clarity and mindfulness is sometimes elusive – I love the sensibility you bring to what you create.

I will be posting a batch of journal pages – my dailies – perhaps you will come back and have a look?

xox – eb.
