Breathing Space – March 10/13

Posted on March 10, 2013 by sherijkennedyriverside

When I looked more closely at the lovely, peeling birch bark, I felt the birch was looking back.

Left brain, right brain, I can't decide. After many years of successful visual arts pursuits, I'm working on my other creative inclinations. Reaching inward and venturing outward as the Snoqualmie River flows onward past my doorstep and life runs freely through my being, I set pen to page to share what I perceive. Sheri J.

She currently resides on the banks of the Snoqualmie River in the scenic Cascade Mountain foothills town of North Bend, Washington USA. Her heart has found its home.

That is an interesting composition you have there. It’s kinda creepy how it looks like there’s an eye, but I love how natural can just naturally do that (of course depending on the angle)! Love it!

  Yes, I find that birch trees often have ‘eyes’, and I love seeing all the other patterns in tree bark, leaves, river stones, etc. Nature is a grand artist!

    Nature is a wonderful artist! And I cannot get enough it even if I’m staring at it with wide curious eyes. Well I don’t known much about birch trees, and in comparisons my wooden fence posts (don’t know what kind of wood though) are not as natural, but! Sometimes I look at the grain and shapes in the wood and sometimes I see things. Like the other day, I found a fox on one of the panels (the shape of the grain was actually in the form of the knots you see on trees, and well, it just looked like two eyes and ears as well as a nose)

    ! It’s like stargazing only using fences, creative and inspirational all in one.
