Joanne Chase – Wisconsin Artist
On August 7, 2016, I first wrote about Joanne Chase, from Hartland, Wisconsin. Her watercolor designs are beautiful. I mentioned Chase Greeting Cards, and that we had bought her cards at Mentink’s Piggly Wiggly here in Oostburg.
Yesterday, I discovered Joanne Chase Art at Fine Art America.
Still Life in Autumn

The card is a watercolor painting and gift
from Charles A. Waugaman (1932 – 2010).
He lived in Vermont, USA.

sun on a painting
from a thrift store
calls my attention
to look again
over time the picture
may fade a little
and change
become a new version
unique to this home
other days
the sun too bright
and long
I think things through
what can fade
what should stay
the same

July in Wisconsin and Creative Note

I read in an old chair by an open window and listen to summer sounds. Several books to look at here and there. Soon there will be many daylily and hosta flowers. Peonies are in bloom.
Poems from my archives
many trees
provide shade
for this street
on a varied
route to the
library
I find books
this time that
tell personal stories
and grant some rest
I was looking at new nonfiction books at Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. When I was browsing, I remembered a haiku.
