You may know that in addition to my artwork I also write poetry (posted on my blog Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That?). For the next several months I will be posting here a combined art/poetry project, Large Artist Sketchbook 2020.
I fill up sketchbooks with all kinds of art. Some contain images only and some of them I use the images as inspiration for poetry. In these books the image is on one page of the spread and the poetry on the other. This book is set up in this manner.
I’ll show you the image and then add the poem that goes with it. See what you think.

Wow! Firstly, the picture is awesome! Secondly, I absolutely love this fusion of art and poetry! Truly wonderful, isn’t it? I do it too!
Thank you!
I love this fusion of art and poetry too. The combination today is especially delightful. Your poems always have surprising twists and insights, Claudia.
Thank you. You know, as I am thinking about it, I think your art would lend itself to poetry or other writing, easily. I often think the titles alone are inspired and send my mind into interesting pathways when I consider them with the art image.
What a lovely thing to say, and I appreciate it and the thought behind it. Thank you kindly.
I don’t what it is but I love your style
Thank you!
This is almost too awesome!
Thank you!
I am enchanted by both the image and the poem
Thank you!
