Daily Prompt <3 Did You Ever See the Rain?
10 May 2016
It’s another rainy day here in central Virginia, another in a line of nearly two weeks. The Japanese have more than fifty words for rain, and there are 140 more at this link in a great op-ed from the times.
My yard is a swamp.
Right now, I’m thinking saturation, saturated, drenched, waterlogged.
Make art about different kinds of rain, or words for rain, or saturation.
Daily Prompt :-) Hands & Heading Off
8 May 2016
Under the weather and missing my mama this Mother’s Day, thinking about her hands–her mother’s hands, her gardening hands, her nurse’s hands. She never had a manicure. I can’t recall her ever having her nails painted at all, but man, it seemed the whole world rose from those hands. And now, I watch my daughter, a first-time mama, her hands so gentle and loving as she cares for my grandson. Yep, the whole world ❤ That’s what it is.
Make art about a mother’s hand.
