Two weeks ago, I got hold of a sketch poem book by Bangalore based artist Prabha Narayanan who blogs here. Delightful to say the least, the book is on and is called Nature and comes alive with easy watercolor strokes and poetry in the artist's own handwriting, and fits snugly in my palm.
I first read about it in Priya Sebastian's The Plum Tree, and knew instantly that I had to buy it. A few email exchanges with Prabha and a copy of the book was mine. I have it up on my ledge like a fresh piece of art.
Tell me you are there too! You can find me @PopOfBright.
Let me leave you with this today...
I opened an old book,
Which climaxes in Spring,
I found pressed 'ol flowers
Between the pages.
Good day fellow bloggers!
