Apologies for my absence. Between moving and health issues it was a hard month and a half. Hoping to get back to posting regularly soon! Hope each of you has an awesome day! A beautiful bouquet made by a friend #TheCommunityCafe #HappyTuesday

#TheCommunityCafe #music This was the question for the week in our music channel.

Peace at last, the noise died down. #7SyllableSentence #peace #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe

Gloam turns to gloom The sunset #7syllablesentence #gloam #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe And a bit late

shrill the bagpipes skirled in tunes #7SyllableSentence #skirl #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe

Morning pauses at the edge of the trees, dew clinging to grass like unspoken hope. The forest keeps a held breath, light waiting on the leaves to decide how softly it will arrive. #ThePenFlows #Poetry #TheCommunityCafe

My latest painting. Went a bit abstract with this watercolor. #Art #Painting #TheCommunityCafe

Make a plan - but tomorrow! #7SyllableSentence #plan Meant to do this yesterday! #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe

She drifts out of shadow, a face made of breath and green-tinted light, half remembered, half still dreaming herself into being. Her eyes carry storms that have already passed, and a quiet that has not yet learned how to speak. #dailyimageprompt dip 14 #poetry #thecommunitycafe

We stopped in this bustling place. Full of people. But no children. At all. "Where are the children?" we asked. "Ah, you'll find them in the catacombs. When I say find, they went in but never came out." Pic 📸 @po3try.bsky.social #dailyimageprompt #dip15 #vss​​ #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe

Today, I asked the Cafe what do they keep near by that brings them comfort? The answers were so amazing, so cafe, so us. We had squishmallows, stones, books, pets, stuffies. So now I turn the question to all of you, what do you keep by that brings you comfort? #TheCommunityCafe #Joy #Happiness

Today's painting...I am a survivor 💛 #Art #Painting #TheCommunityCafe

😸Can’t wait to share my artwork with the cafe😸 #TheCommunityCafe

Question of the day: What brings you comfort? Meet Gary and baby Gabby. My stuffies I sleep with every night #TheCommunityCafe

or my sister, Lisa. @poetrylvr81.bsky.social A quiet place of roots and blossoms — where love keeps watch and you are always safe. #TheCommunityCafe #Painting #Art

If poetic licence is describing things the way you want them to be not how they actually are. And if artistic licence is the same but visually rather than verbally. Then #abstraction is leaving out details for the message. Perhaps I went too far? #vss365 #WritingCommunity #TheCommunityCafe

Morning wakes in color A butterfly learns the sky Sun laughs with the flowers #haiku #poetry #art #painting #TheCommunityCafe

this is a chill, good vibes place to hang out and be creative < 3

"Where the Land Softens" A place where the hills breathe and the sky holds its quiet weight. This landscape is less about the view and more about the feeling — a soft, familiar presence, waiting. #Art #Painting #TheCommunityCafe

After 30 years, I’m returning to painting—this time, digitally. "Out To Sea" is my first piece in decades, created with Adobe Fresco. It feels amazing to rediscover the joy of creating art. 🌟 #TheCommunityCafe #Painting #DigitalArt #Art

Writing and poetry have always been my go-to form of expression. But today, I fell in love with art all over again. It's been years since I've painted. This piece feels like a new chapter in my creative journey. #TheCommunityCafe #Art #PoetryAndArt #CreativeJourney

Stars The stars, in their infinite wisdom, call my name— light crossing the sky as they play gently with the moon. And I, caught in their soft knowing, stand still, learning what it means to be small and unafraid. #poetry #TheCommunityCafe #poetrycommunity

They stand without asking to be understood— stone and sky holding their shape. I stand smaller than I was, breathing them in, learning how stillness can feel like strength. #poetry #blueskypoet #TheCommunityCafe

Fireflies In the hush between heartbeats, fireflies gather— tiny lanterns stitching light into the dark. They rise like forgotten wishes, soft and wandering, reminding me that even the smallest glow can guide a weary soul home. #poetry #TheCommunityCafe

Sepia watercolour postcard of Sheriff Hutton Castle, #Yorkshire, #England. Stayed in a B&B by the castle ruins and painted it there. It was posted and survived the UK postal system. #ArtAdventCalendar Day24 #Art #AmPainting #Watercolour #Painting #ArtYear #TheCommunityCafe My Pic 📸 My Art 🎨

I shared this poem in the Community Café Discord the other day. A small winter world, tucked inside the noise. ☕❄️ #TheCommunityCafe

From my sketchbook, it's a 2024 sketch of a thatched cottage near the castle in #Kenilworth, #England done from a photo I took there last year. #ArtAdventCalendar Day23 #Art #AmPainting #Watercolour #Painting #ArtYear #TheCommunityCafe My Pic 📸 My Art 🎨

En plein air sketch of #Kenilworth Castle nr #Coventry, #England whilst stood/sat on the hill the other side of the castle to the town, a view which I consider the best view. #ArtAdventCalendar Day22 #Art #AmPainting #Watercolour #Painting #EnPleinAir #ArtYear #TheCommunityCafe My Pic 📸 My Art 🎨
