Making up with the Moon, Singleton Hippie Art


Making up with The Moon
(C) Singleton 2009
SOLD

I danced barefooted
in the blue green tidal pool...
a make believe paisley water garden,
salty and cool..
And waved good~bye to
The Ocean.

She was
running off to meet Eternity,
her giant seafoam petticoat dragging the sand...
trinkets and treasures tumbling from her
pockets...

A love affair that never ended....

And then I felt you...
there in the night....
in the damp seaside breeze...
saw you in the face of the Moon...
smiling...

God, I love fairytales....

Artwork 8 1/2 by 11.Colored markers, pencils, ink and memories from hippie beach on cardstock.

Singleton Hippie Art, Make Believe


Make Believe
(c) Singleton 2009

And there, in our technicolor
imaginations, we
painted a Fairytale...

Scribbled
the story
on blue lined paper,
bathroom walls
and cocktail napkins...
And sprinkled them
in the wind,
a paper trail of words...
cookie crumbs for the curious
or the non believers...
I imagine
your smile now...
your head tossed back
in accidental
delicious laughter,
as you read the Ending...
a single word...
Standing lonely guard on the empty page...
"Unfinished"
11 x 15 watercolors, markers, ink and all that hippie hoo~hah on Strathmore cold press paper.

Singleton Hippie Art, The Girl with The Swirl


The Girl with The Swirl
(c) Singleton 2009
SOLD

And in the morning....
Long before sunrise,
wide eyes
and the scratchy sound
of the Morning News
wakes the world,
She's a Mermaid....

Finger painting little "I love you"s...
in the sand...
Splashing in paisley colored tidal pools...
gathering periwinkles for hide and sink,
Etch~a~sketching tatted lace
from the footprints of
tiny sideways crabs
and Seagulls on parade...

The Girl with The Swirl...

9 x 12 Watercolor with colored pencils, markers and sharpies. Because I believe in the Ocean. And in 10 days, she'll believe in me again...
