Today’s Stream of Consciousness prompt is the word, “art.”
That’s both easy and hard. I have lots of posts about art, and I don’t want to repeat myself too much. Maybe I could have some fun with this.
Always
Rings
True
At the
Right
Time
Atoms
Run
Through
Along
Revelries
Thine.
Angels
Rise
To
Assist
Real
Touch of
Aquamarine
Rays
Toward
Alabaster
Refuge
Temples.
I had no idea that was going to happen. But art has returned to my life like my first love did, when the time was right. I had a feeling art would come back into my life. I’ve been thinking for years, “I’m supposed to be panting angels.” Now, I finally have begun. Writing the above acrostics led me to recall my most recent angel painting, below.

Here are the rules:
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. There will be a prompt every week. I will post the prompt here on my blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The’,” or simply a single word to get your started.
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on my post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.
8. Have fun!

I have been seeing your work here for a long time! It is never too late to let the artist in you grow – it is one of the biggest form of expression 🙂

Thanks, Linda. I don’t know why I didn’t see this comment way back in 2016. But I am thinking of you and Alex now in 2021. Sending prayers and good thoughts.

JoAnna, I love the blues and greens in your painting. Your technique gives the painting a very pleasing, ethereal appearance! ❤ I am glad you are painting again. I have set up my work area and done a sketch. if things settle down, I may actually do the painting! 🙂 All the best!

Thank you, Cheryl. Sketching is a great way to start. I went back to this painting a couple of years after this post and added more details. Some paintings take me a while. Here’s the finished painting: https://angelsmermaidsandwoodwork.com/blue-angels-and-a-message-of-love/
