guess what this is….
Meandering thoughts inspired by Jean’s sepia photos:
the trials and pleasures of ink drawings in art school days, too long ago
the ecstasy of seeing exquisite and fragile drawings by the Old Masters,
in the Drawing Room of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, fifteen years ago
old Chinese landscape paintings of steep mountains and gorges

and blades of grass, furry white
still frozen where no sun touches
late afternoon sunbeams
through glass and paper snowflakes
flirting light and shadows

curled up spider

turning to dust on the studio windowsill

a walk in the park
chasing clouds, dancing light
light and shadow, black and white
I agree with Olivia aboout walks.
Walks clear the mind, open the heart,
offer feasts for the eyes and food for the camera.
