Goodmorning beautiful ones, another Friday, another haiku!
Friday haiku
Een brutale meeuw eist te worden opgemerkt verstoort het ritme |
A cheeky seagull demands to be noticed and disrupts the rhythm |
The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg
I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart
Watercolor challenge
I was disrupted too last week… I found a watercolor challenge on Facebook and I thought it would be nice to try watercolour painting again. I meant to finish this painting before the due date (which was Wednesday.) I created the first pencil sketch but had to order new micro pens to finish the image I had in mind. I purchased those before the weekend but it took ’till Wednesday evening before the materials were delivered… so I could finish my painting only on Thursday and by that time I lost interest and ‘cut corners’ (is that the phrase?) finishing it… I’m not satisfied at all but I show you the challenge photo and my painting anyway.
The given photo
and my take on it
This is a lesson I needed to be reminded on: when you lose interest and cannot put on the concentration, you better not start at all.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today, enjoy your weekend!

I wonder what would happen if you followed the footsteps of the “cheeky” seagull? Are there treasures over that sand dune? You and Lena got my imagination going! I love your watercolor. Your mud is great as are the shapes and spots of color. I know that feeling, however… of starting and then losing that initial desire to create something. Who knows? Maybe it will grab you at another time to continue? or not? Thank you for these gifts and hugs to you Marit!

I totally get it about not trying when you are not in the mood. You just get frustrated.
Love your haiku and the photo illustrates it perfectly.

hello beautiful friend across the sea! i love “cheeky” ever so much! i can smell the fresh salty sea air and wonder what could be better than “dancing to the beat of ones own drum!”
thank you for your beautiful water color, your creative path and secure place in all our hearts.

It’s hard to ignore a seagull!

As annoying as they sometimes are, what would we do without seagulls?
