From out of the shadows ancestors watch,
urging their descendents to discover earth’s treasures,
that are hidden from those who merely see with their eyes.
how much we do miss in nature and life……but we’re only here for a ‘blink.’
a very nice addition to the pastel…good vibe, thomas.
Wow! This knocks my socks off. Thank you Ethel.
This is so gorgeous, exquisite–subtle but very powerful!
This is an amazing pastel. I love the colours and for me it has a sense of mystery.
I felt myself falling into the beautiful colors of this, into the image… love it!
Beautiful, rich colors!
Ethyl,
I’d like permission to post this image with the poem below:
when it happens
when it happens,
will I feel the dark waters
seep into my lungs, hear the silence
pour thickly through my ears,
taste the bitterness
of uncried
tears?
I’ve heard how it rattles
as it jimmies locked doors
searching for any opening
to surprise sleeping cells,
strangle
the innocent
heart.
As the wave washes through my mind
Will I feel terror
as I flee
to higher
ground?
Or will I quit
this tragic trip just
seconds ahead of death’s cold grip,
and ascend to you,
slender and
shining
and new?
Thomas, I was so invigorated by your comment re: A Knot? I wrote back quite a response and I hope you enjoy it! The art above is lovely, indeed.
All the many blues, the strong facial features peeking from under the leaf, and the totally delectable, almost edible brushwork make this a real prize.
This is beautiful, Ethel, primevally so.
Beautiful, talented family art works on these pages, thank you for sharing so much artistry with us. Most inspiring 🙂
