Painting, calling Otters

Sharing from another blog...from last week. This may be a bit difficult to experience by some of my readers. But it's possible to enjoy if you turn off your editorial mind, and just watch, look, listen to what's happening!

I love Jackie Morris' art. She used to blog herself...but I guess she's too busy these days. She illustrated The Lost Words, and The Lost Spells, written by Robert MacFarlane, books about nature which are being left out of English dictionaries, and English schools.

See more about Jackie Morris Here, her web site.

Especially for Artists and animal lovers: This YouTube video shows Jackie Morris, UK artist who's illustrated many beautiful books...painting and calling a spell to otters called "Conjuring Otters." Thanks to hecatedemeter blog for sharing this!

I just fell into this 5 minute painting/conjuring video. I hope some other otter lovers, artists, and anyone might also enjoy it.

Today's quote:

You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet. 

-Hal Borland, author and journalist (14 May 1900-1978)
