I knew what I wanted to do, but my first attempts did not translate as I wished. So... painting over the water area with lumiere paints, I added my original haiku to the page, along with a bit of glitter for the sparkling.
Sunlight peeking through
Rivers sparkling reflection
Swallow soars with joy
While it's still not quite what I had in mind, I like it. And since it's for someone else, I hope they like it too!
I'm playing with Paint Party Friday today, hosted by Eva and Kristin. Check in with the other artists to see what creativeness they've been doing this week.
Also checking in with Artists in Blogland Show and Tell Saturday

Lovely work, both art and words. I've never used those paints but will have to try them out one day.
Divine ~ love the haiku as well ~ great presentation ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
This is lovely...and I am jealous of that gorgeous bird.
I love the lumiere on it- gives the water a sense of movement- the bird just pops in the sky- I am sure the person who gets this will be thrilled! Happy PPF!
Beautiful page and the Haiku is a pity that not translate well, but surely he is handsome. Saludos
Beautiful pages and the swallow is perfect! Well done!
Happy PPF!

Who ever gets your book is going to be a very lucky one!!! I love it, and I think what ever you decide to do or add to it, it is going to come up gorgeous!!!
Happy PPF!
Beautiful! And I love the peaceful colors. :)
It's wonderful Helen. Isn't it weird how what we see in our heads, seldom comes out the same on the canvas? Happy PPF! xoxo :-)
You captured movement really well. The colors and the sparkle are really lovely. Happy PPF
My art instructor calls these "happy accidents" -when something planned flops and something unplanned yet delightful happens in it's place:-)
Love that theme of movement...yours has turned out beautifully, Helen!

Happy PPF!!
