Our Buoyant Force
The visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. Dorothea Lange . . . The Q: How do we ride our buoyant force in the waves? Share Your Response Here Facing the bombarding waves seemingly coming from all directions, I engage the core of my soul and move forward, sometimes with the rhythm force of the current, learning to enjoy the journey.

Indian Paintbrush by Simona Carini
“Indian Paintbrush” by Simona Carini A tuft of Indian paintbrush blooms in the fierce environment of a stretch of Northern California coast.

Fault Line with Parrot by Diane Lucille Meyer
“Fault Line with Parrot” by Diane Lucille Meyer In the very old green sketchbook, I found a watercolor sketch of a parrot. He was a borrowed pet very noisy and very active, almost more so when he saw me attempting to paint him. I retrace my random brush strokes back to the time and place when I made this sketch and I feel his effervescence and energy as I study the piece, closely and from afar, yet when I turn the...

a ping (or whalesong)
Your silence exists as does my self gathering. But so does the almost absolute silence of the world’s dawning.

The plants already breathe, while we still ask ourselves how to speak to each other, without taking breath away from them. Luce Irigaray Naked I came into the world, but brush strokes cover me, language raises...

I’m self-taught in both. But I learned from a lifetime immersed in music...
The Lake Diva Briefly Considers Consequences of Heresy by L L Harper
“The Lake Diva Briefly Considers Consequences of Heresy” by L L Harper “God is a polygendered fisherperson of multi-dominational souls.” Overheard as jon boat trolls by dock on Lake Murray Sometimes the stars fall like words from the blazing lips of God who disapproves of the kindling we have become, and we burst into flame, scald moist, summer air as we burn down to charred skeletals, our path stained...
A Snowy Crossing by Catherine Martzloff
“A Snowy Crossing” by Catherine Martzloff I define my creative identity in the following way: As a creator, I’ve always been interested in working with color. I see my life as having a palette of its own and I seek to have the chroma of my experience come through in my paintings. Over time, I’ve realized the only way to achieve this goal is to risk exposure–to unveil my perceptions. Whether the...
