A Poetic Artful Spirit

My latest collage

I have been quite busy preparing for my Art Workshop

"An Artful Spirit"

Just a day of fun creating with fellow art seekers

here in Virginia Beach!

I have always been the Attendee,

even taught art classes before,

but never have I been the Facilitator!

So I am reaching outward

and giving it a try!

I am so happy to say whether one person signs up

or we have a full house,

I am happy to be in this place,

right here and right now!

I have already learned so much.

You know I love my Art and writing my Poetry

so while creating this collage

the words just kept coming to me.

I began jotting them down as fast as they came

and was able to create this poem

about An Artful Spirit

(a way of living creatively)

so I wanted to share with you today

on my Wednesday Poetry Moment 

An Artful Spirit . . . 

It comes from way down deep inside

a thought, a feeling,

a certain way of living

an art of looking at things around you

An Artful Spirit

creativity inward and outward

a way of interpreting

the way we live our daily lives

Observing, Painting, Creating, Dreaming

Walking through this life

Soulfully stepping . . . 

Intuitively thinking

Being Artful is a

gradually acquired way of living

So grateful to have arrived here,

in this very soulful and heartfelt place.

Have a beautiful rest of your week!

I am headed to Myrtle Beach, SC

for some restful time with my hubby!

Looking forward to refreshing my spirit,

playing with my brand new Canon Rebel T3i!

For next weekend will be my art retreat!

I so wish you all could be there!
