I'd love to spend a few days in this cabin. I'm guessing there would be two rocking chairs on the front porch. That's where I'd spend time. Mountains & Trees... ahhhhh....
Several pieces of life collided around the subject of trees and mountains recently.
1. My friend Cheri & I tried this little box called "The Endless Art Challenge." We drew from it's three sections Subject Card, Color Card, & Wild Card.
2. I took an OLLI senior adult course called "Creative Journaling" which I loved.
3. We spent a few days in a bed & breakfast lodge near Rocky Mountain National Park.
4. My Weekly-ish Challenge was "Mountains."

| The rule was that we'd randomly draw (no cheating) a card from each section then create something. |
 |
| I made a little bitty "poster." Okay, so I did cheat. It was a notecard. The cabin was someone's "home," and the color "sunshine" became the whole sky. |

| I loved, Loved, LOVED every session of my creative journaling class. This page came when I was given a card to study then write what it brought to mind. The card was a sort of woman in a dream-like forest . I am a woman of the trees. I want the cover overhead, the trunks and limbs nearby. I want the changing leaves... blossoms... fruit... green... falling golds... then rest... I am a woman of the trees. I want the forest friends to happen by... I want the birds of every color to show themselves. I am a woman of the trees . I am comforted by being closed in... by partial sky views... by the shades offered... by leafy regions. I am a woman of the trees... |

| Do you see me? Look right beside the trees growing beside the rock. There are some views around Estes Park that are just to beautiful to even seem real. |
In my heart I'm more of a tree covered Ozark Mountain, Ouachita Mountain, Appalachian Mountain, Smoky Mountain kind of girl, but those Rockies are quite something.

You've been exploring, both on foot and with paintbrush! Had to enlarge that photo to find you, that is one huge rock! Nice work on the painting and the journaling.
ReplyDeleteWe have been! I think that yes, "huge" is a good word to describe most things in Rocky Mountain National Park.
DeleteWelp, I guess I am woman of the trees, because all of that sounds so comforting and wonderful and desirable. Your painting is beautiful and is a place I would love to visit. I have somewhat the same view as you of the "mountains" of Oklahoma vs the Rocky Mountains. I just love mountains, period, but the southern Colorado/northern New Mexico area is my jam.
ReplyDeleteI suppose we all have our "home" feel.
DeleteI don't know how we'd get to that cabin... maybe there's a road up the other side that didn't make it into the painting... but we could have a lovely afternoon rocking on the porch there, couldn't we!
