"I really enjoyed participating as an artist in the Verse & Visions Show and I especially want to thank Yvonne Hourigan for her poem 'Spring Sex'." ~ Ron Greenaway |

Spring Sex ~ by Yvonne Hourigan The mother's flesh again is pierced by thrusting blades, their tips aglow, With passion's moisture, sun coerced, they press upon the virgin snow Petal lips part willingly to the probes of tender touch, Legs entangled, honeybee lust inside a buttercup Supple stems aroused by rain, prophylacttic bark is burst, Orgasmic green comes forth again, to satisfy the season's thirst All this love, and such rejoicing! passion leaves its regal heir, Born again a beauteous offspring cradled in the foliage fair Yvonne Hourigan |

This acrylic workshop is for beginners and experienced alike and the goal is to take you on a journey from where you are... to where you want to go with any subject. Included in the workshop is colour theory and mixing, elements of art such as value, form, space, basic composition rules and the use of acrylic mediums to add texture to your work. The workshop will be taylored to each individuals interest. Whether your artistic goal is to begin in acrylics, to refine your work or to go beyond current boundaries, I will work with each participant individually to take you to the next step in your creativity. I have found that in workshops such as this, transformation takes place on many levels and life-long friendships can be made. Visit Norma Jackson's website at www.normajacksonartist.com. |

We farm, create FOOD, play, share, grow ART and enjoy TEA. "Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life." ~ from The Book of Tea - Kakuzo Okakura artfarm 8350 richards trail north cowichan bc 250.748.3811 For more information visit www.artfarm.ca |
