Far From The Day I Lost Him

Hard to talk about this one, but this is how I always feel around Mother's Day about someone... thankfully alive and healthy...but someone I lost long ago.

There are so many things to ponder in this image--ABC from learning the alphabet when we were little? Because of all the darkness here, ABC is really scary. The alphabet is also what a writer uses to convey unspoken thoughts. I can understand how hard mothers day is for you and many others with all the conflicting emotions that come creeping up. There is nothing to celebrate except the transformation of the figures of the girl. This is a wonderful image and I love it.--skunk

NICE work Meg! Issues that we just can’t seem to iron out form wrinkles in the time weave fabric of space both positive and negative, color and value no matter where, how or who we look too, for a dream to catch. In fact, sometimes we’ve searched so much for the answer that we begin to wonder whether it really should be part and partial to any resonance of time? Sometimes, it just doesn’t...

Interesting image and beautifully done, as always. Some of the dark areas are so blocked up on my monitor that seeing detail is impossible. It makes me think about estrangements I have and have had with my adult children with the woman reaching for the impossible.

Artistically literate, you are a most sensitive person delighting in the creative spirit. Most beautiful.

I can feel what you are thinking as you did this one, Meg.

Every square inch of the surface is interesting. There are no dead spots. An excellent job, technically and emotionally. -Alcina

Oh, Meg! You are so brave to show this and yet it is so beautiful, too. (Good use of rule of thirds, too. he he) black figure, so pretty, and evolving into light colors--so effective.
