Auld Lang Syne
=====
Notes about poem and art:
For years now, maybe as many as ten?, I’ve created a wall calendar that showcases my art. This year, the January page is unusual in two regards. First, I included a poem I wrote. Second, the featured art depicts a painting start that has long since gone under additional layers of paint; in other words, the art no long exists as a painting; it exists only as a photograph.

First a very Happy,Healthy and of course Creative New Year! What a great way to showcase your work, especially when the pieces have gone along with new versions. All art is transient as well as most in our lives.
During my last session with Sara not only working with previous works, but tearing up recent new exercises done in class and making new work. Surprising!
And to you, too, Carol: a very happy, healthy, and of course creative new year! Thanks for your comments today and over the many years; you are a player in my creativity!
Love hearing about your working with previous pieces and tearing up recent new exercises done in class and making new work—isn’t that grand fun? I’ll be posting something in that vein a bit later this month. The surprises! Worth their weight in gold!
MaryAnn, love your enthusiasm for my creating a yearly calendar of my art—thank you!
Also, I’m very taken with your précis-plus-embellishment of my poem; it’s become a modified haiku, with syllabic lines of 7, 5, 7 instead of 5, 7, 5 : )
embrace the world as it is
right now, yes, yes, yes!
anything is possible!

Lola! Thank you! I love making that calendar each year for myself and a few others. Well, actually, I don’t always LOVE all aspects of the making. It’s a significant undertaking. But I never regret having made the effort! That calendar hangs in my study and I notice it consciously almost every day : )
I confess it was great fun this year to dedicate a page to a painting start that no long exists except as a photo!
Simone, so glad you went back to note this calendar page post! I was excited this year to showcase a poem with one of my paintings—especially a painting in progress, not even a “completed” painting! I love the way the poem fit into the visual composition on the canvas.
