I was in love

Acrylic and charcoal painting on canvas

But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth 
Throw out her full force on another soul, 
The conscience and the concentration both 
Make mere life, Love. For Life in perfect whole 
And aim consummated, is Love in sooth, 
As nature’s magnet-heat rounds pole with pole.

Repost of one of my favourites…

As a an artist, I should be loving all of my works equally … they are all my babies, fruit of my imagination…. yet,  a few amongst them hold a special place in my heart. After many  months I squeezed up some time to read….and I think these lines better explain my painting here…

” How familiar
it feels to feel strange, hollower
than a bassoon.”

Emergence

Emergence  painted on Arches 140 lb Cp paper with Daniel Smith watercolours  and charcoal pencil.Loose watercolour build ups and gathering the expression unconcealed on the white of the paper.Quite happy with what I wanted to paint and how I was able to execute that on paper.
