“Hope” is the thing with feathers

BY EMILY DICKINSON

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –

That perches in the soul –

And sings the tune without the words –

And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –

And sore must be the storm –

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm –

I’ve heard it in the chillest land –

And on the strangest Sea –

Yet – never – in Extremity,

It asked a crumb – of me.

Hi Guys, I am in Maine, in the fog, enjoying family vacation and the beautiful scenery. The fog has rolled in and it has been pouring down rain. So it is a good day to play board games and catch up on computer stuff. I have been organizing my upcoming fun classes at Art Unraveled starting in just 1 week! Here are a few photos I wanted to share with you. I love traveling to new places and getting inspiration for fun watercolor paintings. What kinds of things do you take photos of for painting inspiration? Please share what inspires you…
I hope you are all enjoying your summer!
