Poem: scattered days, empty nights, then order
The days scatterered and clattered about
Like panicked cats
Then there was silence
The nights vaulted high and wide
Like an abandoned opera house
Then there was whispering
The years revolved around worry and wandering
I stuffed rags under the doors to silence the whispers
I fed the cats to make them be still and calm
I changed the track of the years
So now
They track on to my stars that light the opera house full of my dreams

Finished first large for 2020 shell series today.
I really love the way it turned out, although I disagreed with myself several times about how to treat this imagined beach, and i imagined taking the painting in several different directions.
But i decided I didn't need to choose. It's my artwork. I took it in several different directions at once.
I love the expressive wave, and I tucked a smaller, realistic wave underneath it.
The cloud I began to blend and thought of making realistic, but then changed my mind because I wanted the shell to be the object of focus - it’s like when shell hunting and you see a great find, you don't see the clouds or the sky in the distance. They register like blurs and outlines in our peripherals. The waves, whether you are refusing to register them or not, demand attention with their sound and movement. The beach has been swept smooth and clean. The beach isn’t littered endlessly with perfect shells or even imperfect remnants of shells.
How fast will the wave sweep the rest back out?
Better grab that shell before the wave reclaims it for the sea!
On my professional website A Dawn Every Day Artist.
(inspired by my own shell hunting where I found almost accidentally a whole whelk shell without a hole or blemish. It just happen to be out in the open and I had to step on it from it being washed out of my sight. I dug it out from under my foot. The surf was rough. The beach was blown and washed smooth. I felt very lucky.)
Poem: silence from sound
Silver clouds above
Silver, wavy morning sound
Silences insides
5”x7” acrylic on stretch canvas original artwork inspired by the dramatic clouds over the schools on Roanoke Island NC. The moon has been hanging on to its place in the sky my son noticed so I included the effervescent bubble of a moon. #dreamon it seemed to say let your #imaginationsplay #adawneverydayartist #adawneveryday #originalart #obx #roanokeisland #manteonc 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌤🌞💕💙💜💛🧡
I’ve been gathering inspiration for my artwork taking little breaks from work that pay bills and art work that feeds my soul and volunteering as a spca dog walker that feeds my heart to stare up into the sky and out into the ocean gathering inspiration. I’m gathering my thoughts through the wild flowers the water the clouds the wildlife and the heartbeat of the small world around Roanoke Island and the outer banks and the wetlands.
I’ve also re-enlisted in social media which I broke from a few years ago because it took up time and energy I didn’t have. And it was toxic. People felt like they were shouting trying to purposely upset one another and cause division. Now I’m more free to shut off that static, that noise. Now, I’m trying to learn how to use it and not use up me.
I hope to have more to share soon.
I’m looking forward to cooler temps and working in my cooler studio because of it. It’s rather hard to work in a 80+ humid garage. :)
All good though. Everything has it’s season.

8x10 just letting imagination and creativity flow. I love passion flowers, pickette fences, seeing images in clouds, dreaming... I used up a palette of remnant paint, I hate wasting, so this and "boxed in" got the remaining paint that was on the palette till the last smear got utilized. Letting my hair down and creativity flow. Whatever whatever...
Boxed in, 8x10, acrylic on paper, I just try and make random, thoughtless strokes and let something take shape, then I hone into the image and feeling, this one no matter how boxed in someone feels, even if they did it in part to themselves, there are smaller boxes out there.. boxed in... by decisions circumstances culture people time place... this is the one I could envision an installation, with a large, monolithic shadow figure up one wall bent into the room, and a small shadow box with a painted figure inside. Maybe a box for people to step inside and crouch to take selfies and think about how they are boxed in in their lives.
An online art gallery for Dawn's original works of oil and acrylic on canvases.
Hey, I actually got it going. It took me part of yesterday and today, and I had to reteach myself Blogger, but I bought my domain adawneverydayartist.com and set up my first gallery series: 2020 Shell Series I.
I’m happy I finally did this. I thought I had given up, but I think I can move forward finally with my conception for A Dawn Every Day Artist, the art gallery arm of my creativity.
So excited.
