Happy Poetry Friday!
I’m in with a short post, sharing some Blue Chicago art and poetry both available in my Etsy Shop, and for any local Chicago friends at the Evanston Art Center’s Winter EXPO 2020 Show–open through 12-20-20. Early in 2020 I was commissioned to do a piece using 2020’s pick for pantone blue, and this piece emerged… Thanks to Cathy Walsh for this opportunity!

Are you feeling blue…

Stay well, wear your mask and hopes for tides to turn around the world and vaccines to emerge soon.

This blue-eyed girl likes what she sees – art and poetry, Michelle. Your Blue Chicago watercolor is gorgeous. 🙂
I love your watercolor and poetry Michelle! I loved the line “sings to me through winter and mellow world blues”. Thanks for sharing!
OH, BLUENESS!! Gorgeous painting, and wonderful musical poems. Thanks for his much needed shot of blue bliss :).
Thanks Jama, we all need somewhere or something to unwind and refuel with…
I love your artwork! Thank you for the touch of the blues today.
“True blue Chicago” and more. Your painting is awesome, Michelle. I imagine so many loving it, especially those who love the city, may those who now live elsewhere!
Love your BLUE Chicago. I have had moments of blue in this pandemic…but Poetry Fridays just aren’t any of them since I get to see art and poetry and lovely community. True Blue Chicago. I have never been….want to go as soon as travel will permit.
Michelle Blue Chicago is a beautiful piece of artwork and the news of a commission is noteworthy. keep on signing the blues to ward off any of the pandemic blues.
WOW! You knocked it out of the ballpark with Blue Chicago! Makes me yearn to come back to Chicago as soon as possible/safe!
I saw you link to this on facebook, and I instantly fell in love. You did such an incredible job, and your poem pairs perfectly!
I love all your blueness! The art , the music, and your poems all wonderful!
Lovely, lovely blueness! Ruth, thereisnosuchthingasagodforsakentown.blogspot.com
