"A Twig for Rousjh"

(alchemy - magic - necromancy)

When I water non living tree parts I truly am trying to make something come about with a life of its own. It should at least have a spirit that can be experienced by some one who is open to it. There are people who look at this site daily with the hope that I have succeeded. I go on for myself. Knowing that some one is looking and experiencing both my successes and my failures is inspiring to me. When we are in contact the complete idea is that I would inspire them too.

For a while I have been watering these dead tree parts with watercolor and gouache in hopes to be a successful magician or alchemist or necromancer. These crafts much like the craft of art are not guaranteed success. All that I can count on is this. If I continue to do work. Some of what I do will be successful. I am counting todays post as a success. It is perhaps a little too beautiful but that is a favorite problem to have with my work. And then I go on to do more.

Enough said. Each and every one of you go pick up your chosen materials and make something beautiful. Right now.
