I dusted off my paints this week
and lost myself
in the contemplation of colour and space.
With a photo of my younger self,
I struggled to create
The shadows on her skin
And lost my self in blues and browns
And touched the sadness in her eyes.
With a photo from my daughter’s youth,
Sunlight bouncing off silky hair
And lost myself in pinks and whites
And swelled with the joy in life.
I dusted off my paints this week
and lost myself
in the contemplation of time and place.
Brilliant paintings and words Kim.. x
Thanks Sue…
Wonderful paintings Kim!
Oh, I just loved this! How did I not know you painted?!?!
Thanks Kimberly…I have painted off and on over the years; sometimes for pleasure and sometimes for therapeutic or spiritual reasons. I have posted a few other paintings on my website (i.e. my tree woman and my gravatar) but have never declared them to be mine. Kim
It’s wonderful you are rediscovering painting. Beautiful. You must keep it up.
