I present my second Digital work of 2008:

'Cup of Now' © 2008 Pamela MacCarthy

© 2008 Pamela MacCarthy

Cup of Now

Digital

I created this piece during the Golden Week holiday,
as an illustration for a short story I wrote
directly after waking up
from a very strange dream...

It was one of those dreams you just have to write down,
and it was compelling enough for me to back it up
with this illustration.

Completely drawn on the computer,
every dot is a mouse click...

I sometimes use pointillism in my drawings-
It allows me to reach in and express things
where straight lines dare not tread...

A belated Happy Birthday
to my grand niece, Natalie,
who recently celebrated her first birthday!

And, the flowers are here!

I took a little hike with Michio,
along with a small group from Fuchu City's International Salon
to visit a landmark Japanese garden...

Run by Bridgestone Corp.,
we were allowed in by invitation,
as this place is closed to the public...

I took a lot of cell phone photos of the highlights,
and Michio added one of his.

Ev'ry pitcha tells a story don't it?

Michio at the Okunitama Jinja
© 2008 Pamela MacCarthy

It was a beautiful walk, ending at the
Okunitama Jinja.

This place is 1900 years old!

Oh, and, the cherry blossoms are here!

I knew it would be an especially beautiful Spring this year,
what with all the extra rain and snow over the Winter.

The flowers are intoxicating!

But for many,
including my son Michio,
and my friend Michael,
this time of year is a hellish-allergy time,
due to the onslaught of Cedar pollen...

It must be especially frustrating,
to want to go out to enjoy the warm weather
and see the beautiful blossoms,
but to do so means suffering from extreme allergy symptoms-

A conundrum, it is...

Here's my updated iPOD HANAMI Mix:

Burn It Blue (Frida) - Caetano Veloso, Lila Downs
E Presioso Perdoar - Ryuichi Sakamoto feat. Caetano Veloso, Cesaria Evora

Afternoon Plum Blossoms

I went back to the park to do this sketch.
It was a perfect time to go,
with unseasonably warm weather...

As I sat quietly sketching,
I saw a little rumpus at the top of the tree,
and then I saw one of these...

Spring must be here!
