C'est...living room view morning sitting spot

This watercolor has been completed of the view that holds my attention every morning that I sit here, as well as other times of day when I want to get quiet and ruminate. Writings often bubble up after sitting here.

The quietude pervades-

Nearly quiet-

Quietness

Flame flickering quiet.

Incense rising quiet

Slow, deep breath quiet

Blood flowing smoothly quiet

Few thoughts quiet

Sitting still quiet

Gentle morning birds quiet

Soft heart quiet-

Very important

Good love quiet

Yes, also very important

Bamboo branches quiet

Safe and alone quiet

Middle of the night quiet

Good night’s sleep quiet

In the now quiet

IS-

Flowers pushing up in the garden quiet

Growing wiser quiet

Early morning sun slowly streaming in quiet-

Old oriental rug quiet

Still gaze quiet

Solid ground, deep earth quiet

Gentle, tender soul quiet

Heart-centered quiet

Quiet

C'est...Old Water Works

In 1892 Savannah had the good fortune to open a modern pump house for the municipal water system. This was a forward thinking move that used the most current technology at that time. I have now begun a series of paintings of this complex, the Old Water Works Pump House in Savannah GA, which is located in the western part of the city of Savannah on West Gwinnett Street. Here you find my watercolor of the central tower. It is a beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque structure. More to follow.
