| Time to abandon the daffodils; the lilacs are in bloom! The Fist by Derek Walcott | |||||
The fist clenched round my heart loosens a little, and I gasp brightness; but it tightens again. When have I ever not loved the pain of love? But this has moved past love to mania. This has the strong clench of the madman, this is gripping the ledge of unreason, before plunging howling into the abyss. Hold hard then, heart. This way at least you live. | |||||
Hi Laura, the words that come to mind are fun, happy, and bursting with colors. I like how the painting is cropped on the blog roll, no white with just a touch of the blue vase and a look of very abstracted shapes. See what you think.
ReplyDeletehi Laura, I love them esp. the top one, of course that dark blue just sings.. love the poem too, happy Easter! Love,Diana
ReplyDeleteTop one is my favorite, too. Can't wait for the lilacs.
ReplyDeleteThat vase...just amazing, Laura!! I haven't seen lilacs here yet but they are my favorite of all the flowers! Gorgeous paintings!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... noticeable difference in the hp and the cold press papers. I need to try hot press. Never worked with it.. . have some in my wc paper stash... guess it's as good a time as any to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings!!
The top one is my favorite - it seems more assured, bolder, stronger colors and I like the cropping, making the flowers seem to be bursting out of the picture plane. Great poem, too. Lilacs are starting to bloom here, too - my favorite flowers.
ReplyDeletethese are both delightful laura .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and wonderful daffodils:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Laura!
They're gorgeous! I love "past love to mania." How lovely, Laura. What is the blue you've used here in these? So perfect.
ReplyDeleteLaura, good to see you here. Your colors are bright , cheery and puts us all in a good frame of mind...
