A Home With a View

Today’s poem is about this painting, which will be in the Bakersfield show. I had not considered writing for it before, however, it just made sense to keep this poetry thing going!

Resting in the Grace of Creation

So God as a creative woman is not a stretch for my imagination. I created this pencil painting Resting in the Grace of Creation, many years ago and the meaning has changed over time.

Castles in the Sand

Castles in the sand a graphite and colored pencil drawing by Cheryl McDonald

I was reminded of a time when I was down at the beach during a sand castle competition. I marveled at the incredibly huge and intricate designs created out of sand and water.

What must it feel like to live half of your life in almost a completely opposite environment?

Covid Dreams, My Eyes Can Travel

She Wanted to Go Home

This is a follow up painting and poem to my last weeks blog called Sisters. It was done as a tribute to those we love who leave us too soon.

Sisters, is a watercolor that was inspired during a class I was teaching in an art gallery. It was a watercolor class, and the exhibit at the time in the gallery, was a mix of sculpture and paintings.

Letting Go

The pencil painting I am sharing today is called Letting Go, and I would have to say this is kind of a fairytale image. The princess heads off to the castle, dancing along a tightrope high in the clouds.
