Cray-pas on pastel paper The day I came up out of the water, The veil fell away, My face a brightly mirror washed. So remind me now how attitudes are important, They can be seen. Do they reflect what I value? I want to look like You.
These are so beautiful, the drawing and the poem. I have to think about what they mean, but meanwhile, I'll just enjoy looking and listening. Thank you.
seeing faces as light... that's what it's ultimately all about, isn't it? that we reflect his light, or even seek to see it in others. i love the idea of our faces being a brightly washed mirror. love that.
cray-pas, ooo i got some cray-pas in my cupboard. i am gonna have to give a go at some faces again. very soon. you are an inspiration. you just always have been. i really dont think you can help it.

Good stuff. Love seeing your work. And, though I've never seen your face, you do reflect Him. Blessings, you old building and loan pal of mine.

JoAnn, faces got easier when I saw them as light and shadow rather than line. xo

Nancy - to the richest girl in town. Thanks Clarence :)

The Painting is quite Lovely
I love the painting. Soft like the poem...but revealing so much as you pull back the layers.

Wow. That's all I can say.
Gorgeous portrait and true words -- very nicely done on both accounts.
And I just wanted to say thanks, too, for your lovely comment on my guest post over at Emily's place.
Beautiful! And very true.
Nice post.
Your art always touches me deeply, rich and colorful and full of loving feelings toward art and life itself.
Your poem was tender and touching as well both went so well together.
Cheers,
