Empire Day Parade

Skies clear and blue
sun high in the sky
crowds gather to celebrate
flags in their hats
a float passes
regal old neighbour
waving with a white gloved hand
jewels sparkle on her head
Queen Victoria
on Empire Day

Spring Showers

showers of spring

Skies brighten
birds sing
flowers bloom
grey clouds gather
showers begin
hail knocks and bangs
rain drums
drizzle drips and drops
rain barrel overflows
muddy boots
Spring is slow to uncoil

celebrating the mix

Mixing paint
square of glass
hills of glossy colours
glow in the morning light
easel and substrate await
mixing, mixing, mixing
dark to light
light to dark
glazes grow
a sea of
celadon foams

smile on your canvas

A blank canvas smiles
wet paint meets the dry canvas
splashes of inspiration
lines and layers
underneath it all
a smile

scratch writing from the book baker!

What does a book baker do with all the extra stories?

Do they lump them together and roll out a new book?
