“Ink and Joy – Sumi e From the Heart”

“My Greening Heart” by Marilyn Wells. Ink on paper – sumi e – 18″ x 24″

“Who would have thought my shriveled heart

Could have recovered greenness? It was gone

         Quite underground; as flowers depart

To see their mother-root, when they have blown,

                      Where they together

                      All the hard weather,

         Dead to the world, keep house unknown.”

-George Herbert  “The Flower” 1829S

I provide all materials and teach you how to use the sumi brushes in the abstract style I share here. I make use of haiku, poetry and koans, showing you how to “Behold and Know You are Held” – Loving in a Loving Universe. And check my previous blogs for more information.

why should I do this?

It’s a much needed time of sharing and working together.

Distancing and masking will be honored.

I first read this poem when I was fifteen. I didn’t know how true this could be until now. 🙂
