Some thoughts from the Oracle about Sue Vincent’s photo prompt above. The photo looked familiar so I searched through my archives and found my previous response. The painting I did was quite different, but the words seem eerily applicable to my present relationship to the world–“this false night, this held breath”. Am I who I was before?
am I who I was
before
the ocean remembered me?–
only a fool’s voice
sailing blue—
I listen for the words
of cloud magic
to open this asking path
into the dancing skies of always

Interesting comparison. The new one looks like two little sea critters meeting at the water’s edge.

We change moment to moment… like the sea, we are never static, even though the world holds its breath.

Thoughtful probing from the Oracle “Am I who I was before?” I think I’ve been listening for words of cloud magic, too. I agree with Jade and Sue–sea critters and changing moment to moment like the sea.

Thanjs Merril. I don’t see the creature until Jade pointed them out. The Oracle works through the brush as well! Watercolor is the perfect medium for her.

I love this one, both the question and being remembered by the ocean. Perhaps we all are, the ocean is a sort of mother.

I used to be such a perfectionist, the way I was raised, so pen and ink or pencil suited me fine. Then I graduated to charcoal pastels. Now I played with watercolors now and again, tho they can confuse me because of exactly what you say. So I usually mix the media. I’ll get there yet! 😝

Yes. Though my primary passion/expression of my art is landscaping and home design. Though I love stained glass when the inspiration hits. I just picked up watercolor pens again for the first time in a long time. Life! 😍 so you know, I can love the art other people create. It gives me great pleasure to see it. Glad I found you on wp!
