After the rain has fallen...

I was going through my sketches tonight...and trying to see which one I will try to pick up & begin working on? It has been a very long time. I have not drawn whole heartedly since my Ophelia drawing. I have dabbled here & there amongst my craft items, working on my jewelry making & paper crafting. My last post regarding to anything truly artistic, was of my jewelry items. I post here & there about music, as this is what inspires me artistically.

I used to keep a daily journal years ago & drew randomly between journal entries. This is one of the reasons I began writing here...not quite as private as a personal journal, but still venting & expressing. Among my pages I drew, pasted flowers & leaves to the pages, wrote poetry, stories, and simple day to day thoughts. It has indeed been a very long time since I have kept a private journal...but for now, I have my blog here. I have a blog I like to visit from time to time, she is always posting this, that & the other thing! Quite a busy little mousie! Her work inspires me, and I thought I might say that here, as she deserves the credit. I relate to her use of colors, and love the way she uses mixed media combined with her beautiful, ethereal works.

If you have a minute, pass by her blog...

I digress, what I was getting at was...I am going to pick up a fresh journal & begin keeping an artistic record of my day to day nonsensicles. A journal that is of the physical plane, that you can touch & see & quite possibly smell the pasted petals...without an internet connection.

Clearing the clouds away, dusting off the cobwebs, & sharpening my rainbow of colors............
Weather is weather & the rain should be all inspiring, as rain is quite beautiful & some of the loveliest of showers follow with a rainbow.

I can imagine the chirping of the birds now & the glistening of the earth's treasures after the rain settles & the sun emerges through the darkness...everything glistening with the shimmer of each water droplet, as the sun catches each with it's rays.
