A Few 'J.Lynne Original' Art Pieces

New art. Winter/Spring 2011

annnnnnnnnnnd.. i'm back.

beginning all over again..

I never like "forgetting" I have a blog, but when you're life gets crazy.. and you're trying not to sit in front of your computer 24/7.. and you join social groups.. and sports leagues.. and the snow mountains open for the season.. and you're hittin' the slopes.. and rippin' it up on the soccer field.. and then.. one ridiculous evening.. late at night.. Pats are on MNF, almost decided not to go to the soccer game.. you figure, "what the heck.. let's just go out and have a good time on the field".. and you're up by 10 goals.. and jokin' around.. having a good time.. and then.. the soccer field trips you up.. and then you tear your ACL.. spend most of the night in the hospital.. (back in early December).. and then realize it's mid-March.. and you still can't walk...... or snowboard..... or play soccer....... and you end up pawing through a few emails to clean out your inbox.. and BOOM. blog. duh.

Anyways, i'm back. :)

the eye of the mind

keep your sanity
without profanity
head up
eyes forward
thoughts strong
heart full

"be the change you wish to see in the world"

dont be fooled
do good deeds
find a need
make a difference
change the mode of inspiration
via mode of transportation
through the mind
you will find
the right things will take place in due time.

away away away today..

away in my head
to a place above the sea
this far away place
is where i like to be..

Emerald Bay.

a review of an adventure.
to find a treasure.
the nature
will place
your mind at ease
and
please you
appease you
venture the rocks and the slides against the clock
each moment you're out there
you don't count the strokes
and the minute hands are jokes
because you are just completely stoked
to be where you are
as you stare out at the bay
it's a perfect kind of day.

May 2011

it's crazy snow. you know.

crazy snow..
in May.. you know..
a willld whirl..
and windy gust..
not sure why
it's an absolute must..
disguised by a secret lust..
a lust in love..
reminding of home..
and what is known..
and now just looking like a light dust..


a zip into town..
just zippin' around..
trip here. trip there..
rollin' upsidedown frowns.
the excitement to get out.
for sure with no doubt.
makes ya wanna flip.
for the chance to dip
out.
ship
out
and cruise.
at a different altitude.
