A short time ago I was approached by an amazing artist, Christina Deubel, who asked if I would be interested in working on a project with her. She was planning to paint an original work of art as a gift for Indigo Spider (check out the painting here) and wondered if I would write a poem which she would add to the painting. It was a great honor to be a part of the project, and to collaborate with Christina. I must admit, it was a bit daunting since I consider each of these talented women in a league with those who have genuine talent. Thank you to both of you for your encouragement and for being part of my blog life!
Below is the senyru poem I wrote and which Christina used for her beautiful painting for Marita.
INDIGO TINGED INK
Indigo tinged ink
singing waters touch my soul
hearts beat, spirits meld
thoughts express a hope revealed
your strength entwines in me
It was a gift that I am still so thrilled to have received. Both the painting and the poem touched me deeply and I can never thank you or Christina enough. I’ve said it before — you are an incredible writer and keep doubting your own talent!
It is a beautiful painting…and given to a well deserving person, too, I might add! 🙂 I am glad I was a part of the mystery gift plan. LOL
Growing by leaps and bounds!
Your work impressed the hell out of me.
Thank you, Sandy. I consider that quite a compliment.
Was there a link to the painting? Nice poem.
Yes, Patti, I had the link set up under Indigo Spider. The way I had it set up was confusing. I have changed it a bit and you can now click ‘here’ to see the painting.
Thanks for your visit!
Thanks for the updated link. What a wonderful, beautiful gift.
Thanks Patti. It was fun to do. I can’t imagine making my fingers move and creating a painting. It is inspiring!
Very nicely balanced and without any rough edges — really a nicely finished poem!!!
Thank you so much, Zumpoems, for your kind words. I appreciate it!
