mixed media on canvas 16"x20"

#lianetyrrel #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #figurativeabstraction #signsandsymbols #artmagic #abstractpainting
abstract painting with pre-dominent color blue with black and yellow shapes and a variety of pencil marks. The largest yellow shape is near the middle and it has some wispy and tender pencil marks inside. There is a black shape to the right which has some cross-hatching inside and it looks as if it is flying toward the center yellow shape. There are 2 more yellow shapes side by side on the left that remind me of train box card for some reason. And one more black half-moon shape that looks like a boat. It has a black vertical line below that could be an anchor. The painting has gentle looking movement.

small abstract painting, acrylic paint, charcoal and graphite. the mail color is a wispy, gestural and shifting blue and aqua. there is a round purple grey shape close to the middle of the work and a larger yellow and white shape below. there are also small sgapes of back, white, very pale cornfower blue and ochre (darker yellow brown). another blue shape emerges from the bottom of the page next to a white emerging shape.

my partner gifted me an art studio for christmas (he's a builder). it's a small building in our side yard. we live in a very small house and i needed a work space. it's brilliant. i'm painting again. still working on poems as well. hello!
small gestural painting made with acrylic paint, charcoal and graphite. pre-dominent color is a greyish purple with various shapes and marks emerging from this color field- some solid black marks which look like hills. other shapes in yellow, pink, peach and pencil marks in arc shapes and a pencil shape in the middle of the piece which is a line drawing of, perhaps, a tree.

Louise Glück- she'd just published "Ararat" and it was the first poetry reading I'd ever been to. When she read "First Memory" it meant so much to me. My most enduring poetry love. Rest In Peace

Thanks @aquietroot.bsky.social for sharing "A Sheep Running in a Field". I appreciate! It's a short one if you have a minute for a poem.

From “Rilke The Last Inward Man” by Lesley Chamberlain. FEELING THIS HARD.
Image of underlined passage in the book “Rilke The Last Inward Man” of the following quote: “He was subjective. He wanted to tell the world about his net feelings and how hard he found it to place himself in the world.”

I woke up the other morning thinking that the motivation for all my poetic work can be summed up with one question: What can I believe in?

Which of your fave journals & indie presses have made their way over to the other side? Boost them here?

The amount of work to rebuilt platforms and reach listeners, readers, writers—it is so much. What a burden. What a senseless burden.

What are your simultaneous submissions habits? How many journals do you send the same poem(s) to at once? I'd LOVE to know.

Does anyone else switch up fonts between projects? I find it really satisfying and useful signal of time and change.

“if paradise is to be here..”
by my favorite, Linda Gregg.
One of the first of her many poems that stunned me silent.

Make this change to improve your feed on this app. You’ll see all the posts instead of just ones with likes.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

3 new poems that feel really right.
Photo of a white wall with 3 new poems printed and hung up near an old mirror. Below is an old white table with chipped paint and with my printer on it, an old blue chair with my retro white fan on top and a corner of my old black dresser. I like old things.

If I change the sequence of this manuscript one more time I may lose my ever loving mind..

Wrote 2 new poems the past couple days. Dreams are vivid. I walk with my dog and dictate notes into my phone. Feeling abundant on the edge of a new poem project.
