Healing, Kiss, and Art Show

Healing with art, inspiration with poetry...

"Kiss"          Copyright 2013, Delorse Lovelady

      Inspired by:    KISS, by Sylvia Pollack, June 30, 2011

Trellised tomatoes,

     splayed across the south

side of the house,

     get drunk on their own sweet juices

stew in them,

     grow so exuberantly after dry days

their skins split

     like opened zippers, and we,

in an act

     of kindness and forgiveness,

pluck them

     off their vine, offer them

to each other's lips.

 Cancer Lifeline Art Show
I have the honor of having two collages in this show sponsored by the Northwest Collage Society and Cancer Lifeline of Seattle.  Women participating in Cancer Lifeline writing groups write poetry for healing,  They shared their poetry with members of the Collage Society who selected one to three poems, and then created art pieces from the inspiration.  I selected Kiss by Sylvia Pollack and Never Pruned by Nancy Meier.  A portion of the sales from these poem inspired collages are donated to Cancer Lifeline.

Lake Washington, Diamonds & Art Show

Spring is back bringing flowers, fresh starts, and light...

Juanita Beach Park
Last Sunday we took a little jaunt over to the local park on the Juanita side of Lake Washington.  The park has recently been renovated, and is a lovely spot to take a walk on the loop that is partly dock over the water and partly beach.  It was an uncommonly gorgeous sunny day in north Seattle, and we enjoyed the sun play dancing diamonds across the waters.

And then there was this great stonework pathway with native grasses that caught my eye.  Stunning shapes and lines... abstractly wonderful.

Kirsten Gallery
A wonderful fine art gallery is hosting Co-Arts show this year.  I have one painting in this show.  Stop by and see what local artists have been creating. Here is a link for viewing the artwork if you can't make it to the Gallery.
