Friday Writings #36: Sunset:

how golden these clouds
to a passing day causing
wonder of glare

to stop and watch
ponder with nostalgia
words and colours

tagging friendship
fit to savour and preserve
in time's passing

I love how your creative mind works. Loose ends is fascinating and then your portrait art is fabulous. You really captured his likeness. Thank you for joining Friday Face Off.

Hi Gillena! Your Alexander Calder sketch is lovely. I really like that you used the blue. "Loose Ends" is perfect! ☺

I love that those clouds stopped a bit, for them to watch but also for us to marvel them.
I like to your "Loose Ends" drawings. Perhaps you have created a new art form. Maybe assign meaning to each or let viewers call. I'd call these two :Driving on muddy roads.

It's always interesting to watch birds at rest. Some are restlessly at rest! :)

I have to check up 'kiskadee', and what a lovely bird it is.
Your first drawing reminds me of an Alexander Calder mobile, and I like that portrait you done of him.
And what a lovely tribute to Beverley.
