I’m still addicted to my new, olive green paint, but today I throw in
some orange too!
For Haiku my heart
| Vlammend oranje
(de vogels smullen ervan) kleurt de grauwe dag |
Bright, flaming orange
(birds love to eat these berries) colors a grey day |
This firethorn (pyracantha) grows in my backyard.
Blackbirds fly in all the time to taste the sweetness of the berries…
Haiku My Heart is hosted by the wonderful Rebecca.

I wish you all a great weekend! (Without snow! Hope all my American friends
– who faced this white stuff this early in the season – are doing alright?)
Your work is so original Marit and colourful.
I always enjoy visiting your blog.
Hope you have a great weekend too.
The weather is warming up in Sydney, Australia and I will be swimming at the beach next week.

The green with a little orange sprinkled in is beautiful, My friend !
Love the card for your friend ! Kumi will love it, I am sure, just like I loved the card you sent to me ! 😉
Most of the snow is melted here, Thank God ! Hopefully the next dump waits a little longer. Thanks for coloring my world today.
Light and love !
LOVE that photo – I used to have a firethorn too! And a cotoneaster… Your haiku is (as usual) fabulous!
I am a big fan of olive green too – especially the olives you can eat. Which is also why I like so much the cookery cards and book in your previous post! I am behind with everything today, but I’ll be in touch again n ext week!
Big hugs and have a really lovely weekend! xoxoxo
Great pages and i enjoyed the haiku. You’ll find mine here.
Wow, fantastic work!!! Love love love that art journal page! 🙂
The various shades of green are so refreshing!! The orange berries are radiant against the backdrop!! No wonder the birds get attracted to them!! Magnificent artwork as always!!
Orange is my favorite color, especially with grey! Lovely pages!
That berry cheered me up.
But me trying to pronounce
‘kleurt de grauwe dag’
made me smile.
Thanks! *^)
I love your style! I just recently got into art journaling and I am having so much fun with it. Beautiful cards!
as the days grow shorter, darker…whiter,
red becomes as sweet to our eyes as berries become manna for birds.
lovely in every way.
Wat een mooie Haiku met bijbehorende foto!
Je art journal page vind ik helemaal geweldig, die schoenen (ik moet erom lachen 🙂 Erg leuk gemaakt!
Fijn weekend, liefs Viv
I love the smell of pyracantha flowers. It reminds me of childhood. I love your journaling and art, in general. Very vibrant.
Green whimsy. Love it.
Mooie Haiku, helemaal in de juiste sfeer! De kaart en art-journal zijn inderdaad een mooie groene inspiratie, en die schoenen zijn inderdaad geweldig!!!
I love your photo and haiku! and I’m really liking those shoes and your how your character’s feet are so small in them!
