It is around 69 Fahrenheit/20,5 Celsius today.
No, I didn’t spend a day at the beach, but I imagined one!
I made a sunny page with a haiku for Haiku my Heart Friday.
| Een dag aan het strand
weer thuis vind ik zandkorrels tussen mijn tenen |
a day at the beach
back home I find grains of sand between my toes |
The sweet Rebecca hosts ‘Haiku my Heart’ every Friday.
She’s the core of the haiku circle and people from all over the world
come together at her place and share their haiku and images.

I started the next page in my ‘Big Miscellaneous’ art journal
a couple of days ago. It didn’t turn out like I wished or hoped…
it’s kinda messy.
Tic Toc
(Size: 25 x 35 cm - 9.8 x 13.8 inch)
I know why I don’t like this page: it isn’t thought over and there’s too much
going on. I usually am in a so-called ‘concentration mode’ when I work in my
art journals, almost in a meditative state sometimes. Not this time though.
I worked on this page far too long – adding things and not really thinking –
and I was distracted most of the time.
Oh well, never mind.
I turn the page and start on another one. Not today though…
the weather is too bright to spend the afternoon inside the house.
I’m outta here!
I wish you all a lovely and sunny weekend.
I love the way you jump right in there and surprise us with a slang phrase like “I’m outta here”. You certainly are worldly inn that respect. I like your art hand especially like the creativity. Clock faces are cool. The way they are dressed puts them in a specific era. I need not see or concentrate on anything else in that image, and I like it. Nice haiku. On such a warm day, the beach would be a place to be, unless you ride a motorcycle.
Peace
You reminded me my first and only visit to Goa..why toes, I would have them all over… and how would they be shining in the lights.. ha, ha, Marit.. good Haiku..
Wonderful post! Love your journal collage and I especially like the 2nd one ~ Your haiku has me feeling sand in my toes too ~ Lovely work ~enjoy the weekend ~ namaste, CArol ^_^
Wow Marit wat een juweeltje. Je hebt me eens verteld dat je eigenlijk niet zoveel met haiku hebt, maar ik lees elke week weer een juweeltje. Je onderschat jezelf 🙂
This is a gem Marit, wonderful painted picture with haiku.
I love your projects! Awesome style!
I was supposed to spend the day at the beach with my friend yesterday but life had other plans for us. Luckily, I can always go there in my mind…
Love your haiku and that piece.
I also love that we can just turn the page when things don’t go quite as we had planned !
We have had warm, warm weather this week. A little too warm for March – it seems so bizarre ! But the temps are supposed to fall back into a bit more normal for the weekend. That is good. Need some rain and cooler weather for my tulips to bloom well !
Wishing you a sunny and fun weekend, SoulSister !
good morning dear marit,
being an ocean girl you have spoken straight to my heart! i love love love your haiku, the presence of the sand filling me with great memories.
thank you!
Love the haiku…and I want a skirt like that one:)
♥♥♥
I find sand everywhere after being at the beach! A splendid haiku, I love a day at the beach.
oh…just imaging the feel of sand between my toes!
The haiku tells a great little story and the collage is REALLY good! Thanks for sharing these today 🙂
grains of life, of time well spent, reminiscent of today of yesterday
Ah, to stroll barefoot on the beach. Lovely.
beautiful art! have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful. Love that first page. I love the feeling of feet in the sand.
ja meis, je haiku’s zijn weer helemaal geweldig!! Zo knap dat je met die paar woorden toch elke keer weer een heel verhaal weet te vertellen!
In mijn ogen is ‘Tic Toc’ helemaal niet zo mislukt hoor maar ik snap wel wat je bedoelt met ergens te lang aan door gaan omdat het niet zo wordt als je in gedachten had. Tja, helaas overkomt ons dat allemaal wel eens. Toch? Even balen mag maar dan snel door naar de volgende lege bladzijde!!
Hmmm. I might have to break out some paint and glue even if it means ruining my new manicure.
I love both your posts, Marit, and your art journal pages. We’ve had warm weather off and on and look forward to spending time at the ocean–eventually.
we had sunshine today too, altho’ it was a bit chilly in the morning! rain tomorrow and Sunday!
I love this flow-y dress cropped image, I gotta lift that!
oooh, and so envious of Nout! I did know that Eddie & PJ was touring Europe : .) I’m a member of their fan club, so I get email updates…how silly, huh?! : .)
Loving your haiku this week…and loving the journal page with all the circles!
Ach, niet alle pagina’s kunnen toppers zijn, toch? Na een (in jouw ogen dan!) mindere pagina volgt meestal weer een meesterwerk…let maar op! En die pagina op het strand is super geworden!! Maar ja, die was eerst…
Treasure each one of those grains of sand…
Conjuring Spring Rain
Love the haiku. Tic Toc journal page is really cool.
de haiku is weer prachtig! en het past helemaal bij het mooie weer van nu…heerlijk!
bij de tweede pagina vind ik de achtergrond wat te druk, maar de mens figuren met horloge-hoofden vind ik helemaal super bedacht!
Hello Marit, I so looked forward to coming here and seeing your Friday offering… soon we can imagine grains of sand together in person! I love thinking of that possibility! And till then… the clock is ticking and time is moving… forward… XO
so nice! I went to the beach daily while on retreat and laugh to think how, like a puppy, it would follow me home everyday, slipping into the cuffs of my jeans and sticking, no matter how hard I tried to leave it behind!
OMG what a pretty art and cute haiku. Love it!
Sorry for the late visit. My internet was acting up. Have a great week.
Had to find the page you were talking about. I think you expressed beautifully what happens when we, as artists, lose our concentration, get distracted, or work way too long on a page. However, I happen to like your page.
Question: how much will it cost to have Feature Magazine sent to the states?
