"The Delicate Art Of Sorrow "

broken pieces
colour fading
heavy stem
heavy laden

double burden
bending lower
seeds have fallen
moving slower

but we are one
you and I
in life we lived
and death we die

to the earth
we make our nest
our summer journey
laid to rest

^{(this is a real 2 headed dandelion my son brought to me from the yard today :)}

Nice piece and lovely words…
Basia McAuley

This is soooo beatutiful! The words, the composition, the aged treatment, everything! WOW! Well done!
Birgitta

Thanks so much Michelle. :)
And Basia, I’d be lying if I said you weren’t my main reason for doing
this! I thought about your piece: “Generations” and while I had no idea
how you got those amazing textures..I tried my own recipe…heh. Just kinda
threw this and that together. :-/ Thanks for checking it out and (as always)
inspiring me so much. :)
Alexia Wardell

I love it, great color and the texture is to die for. Wonderful piece as always.
Basia McAuley

You have to share your secret of doing those awesome cracks, yours is soooo much better!!
Heather King

Birgitta

Thanks Lexie & Heather-Marshall & Yanmos. :)
So glad you like it! Basia, (you silly goose!) I’ll drop you a line. ;)
Birgitta

Hey, thanks Paul. :)
billyboy

Nice words… sort of makes death not sound so bad. After all, life and death is an endless circle. This is layer blending put to its most beautiful use. Lovely, soulful image.
Lumineux

I wonder at how something so light and wistful could be given so much more meaning and substance. Only you could do it! The image and words speak to me about the transience of life, and the little time we really have to live it.
Dave Warren

A very beautiful image
Caroline Gorka

mcquaid

Great treatment, great color ,texture subject matter,words and title.What does the characters translate to in english?Regards.
Birgitta in reply to mcquaid’s comment

Well Mcquaid, I haven’t a clue!
My daughter (who’s a self taught Japanese student)
laughs because I have a few Asiatic brushes in CS3-
and I’ll just slap whatever on there if I like the shape of it.
For all I know it could say: “I need to do my laundry..” :-/
Or, nothing at all. (which is more likely) But again, it was the
shapes and curves I was going by. ;)

prbimages

Birgitta, mcquaid, Krisso, the Japanese katakana characters down the side read “bo-pu-pi”, which means nothing in particular, just random sounds.

Nevertheless, a great image, well done!
Birgitta

What a very beautiful emotive piece of Art, Birgitta !! A work of great contrasts melded together well, the delicate softness and the aged, cracked appearance running right through everything. The artwork matches well with the verse !! A Masterpiece !!!

Wow, this is a really strong image Birgitta… again this is one for the favourites! I love the style of this, very reminiscent of Japanese laquer work. Your use of textures just gets better and better at the moment.

coffeetea

excellent job ! birgi:)
Arletta

Very interesting… in several ways I can’t imagine why a dandelion would want to be two headed, but, I can imagine, once it decided there was a reason for it, it mutating that way. Dandelions are the smartest plants I know of. They learn to grow too short for lawn mower blades, after a few times of being mowed over; and, the same plant will grow tall again when the lawn mower hasn’t been around for a good long while. Very cool plants; as well as good for you.
Birgitta in reply to Arletta’s comment

I didn’t know that! Wow. I like the way you think.
You point out strange & interesting facts. :)
shanemcgowan

Spectacular birgitte sweetie !!

Kurt Tutschek

Samin D, 29 days ago

how life can be so cruel behind this delicacy? I feel it doesn’t understand anything, if it did, it could believe in simplicity of art.
