Here are a few words from Michelle regarding her art work:

I use to paint as a teen and now I find it very enjoying and relaxing again after many years away from it.  I hope to improve as I go along with more paintings.  Here is one I did just last weekend where I attempted painting again after so many years.  This is the beginning of hopefully several more to paint in the near future.  My daughter got me paints and brushes for Christmas so I’m giving it a try again although I’m a little rusty at it now.  ~ Michelle

    This poem was originally written to a photograph offered by a friend, Vicky Wagner, as a picture poetry challenge on her MySpace blog in 2007. Michelle’s art reminded me of, it so I paired them.

    OF SWEET SERENITY

    Upon mirrored glass
    of an afternoon,
    subtle reflections of peace
    fill my heart,
    as tracing the path
    that brings me here,
    I find those places
    thought hidden away
    and forever lost to me.

    But the stillness
    of this moment
    and the whispering
    of the breeze,
    the sweet rays of sunlight
    work magic on my soul,
    breathing color and life
    into dormant memories past
    in repose of late afternoon,
    a restless heart revived
    as I walk down this path
    on a Sunday afternoon
    and stop for just a moment
    as I hear the choir’s song
    that sings of peace
    and love
    and joy
    within the rustling
    of the leaves
    that also speak to me.

    And on this afternoon
    within this tranquil scene,
    for a brief time at least,
    my heart soars
    and comes to rest,
    at one with what I see
    and suspended
    within a glimpse
    of sweet serenity.

    Beautifully done, Michelle – I was loathe to mar your painting so, yet the spirit of Epiphany told me to do it … I listened and obeyed!

    the Chapel by the lake
    were I waked
    gone were the days
    that I wasted…

  • Scotorum says:

    Had to do an original one to Michelle’s art, especially after she revealed that it is known as the “meetinghouse” at the Hale Farm and Villege park.

    This is dedicated to you, Michelle, and your love of family and old fashioned culture. :love: :love:
