weaver i think the first impressionist paintings i saw were by seurat. i do recall the feeling of amazement as i dug deeper into the impresionist works and had all the "rules" of art rewritten and not for the last time either. steven
So Steven-- Have you ever considered submitting your work for print publication or poetry contests. I hereby declare that you should. Your work is simply exquisite.
kathleen when i saw the painting (again) i was immediately drawn to think of the people who would return home and then to wonder, with what? i've been one of those people. i wrote the words to try and hold what i saw. thankyou for your kindness. steven
oa.s, i love being by water at dusk. the sky and the water commune and there's a closing of the curtains between the two wallls of their mirroring. steven
kathleen - hmmmm. well i have wondered if i might arrive at that point some time but i've not really felt it yet. i think it would be so extremely cool to create a book with prints and text and all the details and the stuff of a book. thanks for the support and prompting - i wouldn't even know where to start! steven
This is lovely, Steven, as is the Seurat. I was fortunate enough to see several of his works while I was in Paris a few years back. I was amazed at their size (enormous), and equally amazed at the thought of one seemingly random point, when place in perspective with other equally 'random' points, created a vision of unsurpassed beauty.
jo you got me thinking . . . have i ever seen an actual seurat painting and i believe i have but i can't remember where or when. the points are so like people or insects or stars. life lesson. uh huh! steven
I might have some ideas for you, Steven. You could certainly create your own book, but I really think you should consider submitting some of your work to some literary journals or some contests. The big wide world should have the opportunity to partake of your gifts!
I am now following your beautiful blog and hope you will also follow mine.

Life lesson, eh? ♥
