Day 115 :: Parade Portrait

April 27, 2015/ Kari Manwiller

I love this shot. This girl. Dressed up to celebrate El Dia de los Muertos. Her expression. Her makeup. The fact that she looked right into my lens. The action going on behind her. The seeming quiet moment of recognition between herself and the viewer. Just one glance says it all.

I am a mixed media artist & abstract  painter. My inspiration comes from music and the beauty of nature. As an art journaling instructor, I specialize in helping people find and express their creative voice. I make my home in Northern California.

Five senses:
Seeing new growth on the trees, watching the smoke curl & ride the air currents.
Hearing the bird sing their songs.
Smelling the incense.
Tasting lemony, turmeric tea.
Feeling the cool spring air on my skin & the pen in my hand as it touches the paper.

Drink: Green Tea surrounded by art supplies on this rainy afternoon. #aprillove2018 #ilovetea #artjournaling
My walk this morning just before the rain #nature #inspiredbynature #clouds #water#sonomacounty
Note to self: woke up this morning with a bit of the migraine lingering from yesterday. So I sipped a cup of coffee slowly & let myself wake up. Perused some of the posts of my friends here, old & new, (you guys are incredibly creative!) & came away so inspired I had to grab my journal & write some things down. Writing it down reconnected me with how full & rich  my life is. The great thing I come away with is that I feel excited & inspired to live my life, not try to achieve some kind of “ideal” or copy someone else. We are all so uniquely creative & have something to offer. Thank you for sparking my heart. 💖🙏🏻✨#aprillove2018 #hygge #thegentlelife #connection #mornings

Such a beautiful morning for a hike. So nice to see all of the new growth around the evidence of the fire. #nature #trees #waterfall
