Moving Into Blue – Original Poem

I’d like to share this poem from my collections:

Moving Into Blue

Moving into blue

through the corner of my eye,

blurred and misty,

softly-composed sky.

A wing of flight,

soft, gentle rush in ear,

a pine-tree cone,

colour, I hear.

Flickering lights,

watery glow,

movement and sound

no one else could know.

Growing dim, orange ball

with a tangerine hue,

life and music

moving into blue.

New RSS Feed to Suite101 Writing Articles on Blog

I’ve just added a new link on my side-bar here on my blog.  The links lead to my most recent five articles I’ve written for Suite101.  The articles subject matter is diverse and often topical.  Hope you enjoy the new addition!

 

New Writing – Einstein’s Creative Genius, Word Choice & Communication, New Generations & Career Choice

I’ve written three new articles this week.  It was great to sit in my local pub in Edinburgh with fairy light and lanterns inside, snow falling outside, a hot cup of tea and my laptop propped up on lots of comfy cushions! Lovely.

Two of my articles are related this week, ‘Einstein’s Creative Genius – Staying Flexible in a Changing World’ and ‘New Generations & Career Choice – Embracing Change’.

The themes of these two article are about creative young people and the modern working environment; the need to stay flexible and be multi-disciplinary and the balance between science and creativity as epitomised by Albert Einstein.

The third article is titled ‘Word Choice and Communication- Choosing Language Wisely’.  This article explores the words we choose to communicate our ideas, thoughts, dreams and desires.   Do the words we choose can  lead to definitions about who we are.? If we had chosen different words to express the same sentiment, then would we be perceived as a different kind of person?

Feel free to share appropriate comments and thoughts!

Merry Christmas 2009!

New Original Art, Recycled Glass & Maps- The World In My Heart

I’ve just listed two original art works in my Etsy online store!  These art works incorporate a recycled element utilising glass chips, diamante, faux pearls and maps.

This painting ‘The World In my Heart’ represents my time spent in Australia, journeys taken and my love of the land there.

‘When The World Spoke….I Listened’ is a map collage piece featuring the world once again with a large pink flower sprouting from it.  This piece was also made whilst I lived in Australia.

Edinburgh Christmas Art Market Images

Here are some images of the art market I took part in on 5th December in Edinburgh- the lighting was minimal and I ended up feeling like the sun was setting on me with this big amber light shining down on my stall from the balcony.  I also took part in the market on the 12th December too but didn’t take my camera that time!
