Friday Writings #36: Sunset:
how golden these clouds
to a passing day causing
wonder of glare
to stop and watch
ponder with nostalgia
words and colours
tagging friendship
fit to savour and preserve

Hi Gillena! Your Alexander Calder sketch is lovely. I really like that you used the blue. "Loose Ends" is perfect! ☺

I love that those clouds stopped a bit, for them to watch but also for us to marvel them.
ReplyDeleteI like to your "Loose Ends" drawings. Perhaps you have created a new art form. Maybe assign meaning to each or let viewers call. I'd call these two :Driving on muddy roads.

It's always interesting to watch birds at rest. Some are restlessly at rest! :)

I have to check up 'kiskadee', and what a lovely bird it is.
ReplyDeleteYour first drawing reminds me of an Alexander Calder mobile, and I like that portrait you done of him.
And what a lovely tribute to Beverley.
