Walercolor Haiku

While watching my new obsession on Netflix...Mad Men...I painted this little fall scene.

I added the Haiku this morning.

What do you think?

Japanese Arts-n-crafts AB

This book has been a bit more difficult for me to come up with something that fit the theme of the book. The owner wanted a focus on Japan and Okinawa, specifically their crafts and textiles but thankfully.. gave us "an out" so to speak as long as we stuck to the Asian theme.

Haiku and Bonsai felt to me like a good fit without repeating the same Kimono's and Geisha's that would be expected with these theme. The attempt at haiku poetry is all my own...

'Twas the day before Christmas...

our house is a flutter. The cooking, the cleaning, just look at the clutter!

By evening I hope the Legos are not on the floor, you never know who might knock on the door.

When the kids are tucked into their beds, I'll do my impression of the big man in red.

Tomorrow morning will be here too soon, our guests will be here well before noon.

I hope your Christmas will be ever so great and wish you the best in 2008.
