i love the very different
facial expressions
on these women
as the triremes return below.
three stories.
three moments.
three points in space and time
from which inferences blossom.
he returned.
he was lost.
is that him?

i have two ways of loving you:
a selfish one
and another way that is worthy of you.
in my selfish love, i remember you and you alone.
in that other love, you lift the veil
and let me feast my eyes on your living face.

I looked at the women and wondered if we gave the same women the same quality? :)
As always, a welcome break from the to and fro of pre-holiday working.
Picture and words - both lovely steven.
hello hope! as i prepared this post i hoped (no pun intended my dear!) that visitors would offer their own interpretations of what could be passing through the minds of those three women. there are some intriguing possibilities! have a peaceful day. steven
thankyou weaver! steven
I am melting from the quote. I love the art. Amazing.
hi jenny stevning . . . it's a beautiful piece of writing and i'm glad you really saw it!!! steven
There are indeed intriguing possibilities, Steven. The painting is an excellent snapshot of three women whose lives are on the cusp of change. It would be interesting to have a second painting of them a minute or two later.
I have two ways of loving your blog- one way is all gushy and over the top- the other is way more gushy and over the top...
Those colors! A delicious feast for the eyes!
well linda sue i am not averse to gushiness. let 'er rip!! steven
i so agree golden west!!! it's a gorgeous work. have a lovely day yourself. steven
hi barry - such a cool idea. i wonder if there's an artist out there who would take a piece like this and then run it into something with a bit of a visual narrative. have a lovely day. steven
