Expressions: January 2012

Sunday, 29 January 2012

Painting this night scene inspired me to write .....

As the light of the day

takes refuge,

the somber hues

of the night so silent

appear.

The moon shines bright,

shadows emerge

in the deep dark forest.

A certain whiteness

unfurls

through the trees

and branches.

The still waters

of the oceans and seas

start to communicate

with the rising tide.

"I often think that the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day"
~ Vincent Van Gogh

Faces

These are pencil sketches I did over thirty years ago.

I found my old sketchbook and was amazed to see some

of my drawings. Had to use a little contrast and brightness to tweek them

since they'd faded quite a bit.

"A woman has many faces as she goes through her life.

It's like we need more than one hair-do. We have many changes in the evolution of our lives.

We have, we learn, and we grow; we view life differently, and life views us differently."

Sharon Stone
