eternity

eternity, pastel
I continue to work on pieces for my next show opening April 1st. I read poetry, and in the past months I have feasted on a banquet of poetry, all of it influencing my work. So I share a recent main course. Enjoy.


All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all night
All things pass
What always changes?

Earth...sky...thunder...
mountain...water...
wind...fire...lake

These change
And if these do not last

Do man's visions last?
Do man's illusions?

Take things as they come

All things pass

a quiet suspension of time


The concept for my next show began with this painting- which I just completed. "A quiet suspension of time"- that moment after dusk when the heaviness (and sometimes the lightness) of life whispers to us with her husky voice.
It's weird I can't seem to get a good photo of the painting and I was hoping to have her represent the show in the PR. She defies photography.
