sepia memories

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

Do you think there may be hidden messages here?
My mind must be on Qarrtsiluni’s latest theme, Hidden Messages.
The deadline for submissions for this issue is January 31st.
(I’m still working on it…)

frost and shadows

fine frost etching, edging leaves
and blades of grass, furry white
still frozen where no sun touches

late afternoon sunbeams
through glass and paper snowflakes
flirting light and shadows

dead flies
curled up spider
feathery white moth
paper-like wings still open wide
turning to dust on the studio windowsill

Happy American Thanksgiving

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.
