And when all seems lost and dark in your life
just look up to the sky
and a bird of hope
might appear
illuminating your world
with rainbow colours

Hope and protection both! The figures leaning in are guardians. A beautiful image. Thank you for filling our eyes with rainbows.

Dear Miki,
thank you for the beautiful work of art and the encouraging words of hope.
Yes, I will look up at the sky today and find my bird of hope …
Wishing you a lovely Wednesday with good inspiration for painting,
Eva

Pen and White Ink
The soldier in armor looks up,
sees the bird bringing us hope.
The soldier wears a red helmet.
The bird takes up 1/3 of the page.
Will there—in Paradise—be birds
such as this? Will we—in Paradise—
still need hope? A second soldier is in
purple. Four men behind them look like
pears. Hopeless, a corpse floats by,
the water breaking into green chunks.
In the valley, a small town. Maybe
a cathedral in front of golden mountains.
Just above them—in the middle of the page—
the artist signed her illegible name in pen
and white ink. I think it ends with “Junior.”
Also posted on my blog.

The Aurora Borealis
is a beautiful horizon, isn’t it?
La aurora – el espacio de sus alas
I don’t forget all the celestial flowers
where Species lays down
and watches
la aurora – el espacio de sus alas

@Daud & Mehdi
Merci pour ces beaux commentaires, en plus en français, ca me fait toujours tellement plaisir!
@Versions Celestes
There is something so mysterious around you and your words, really as if you came from another world, your poetry sounds beyond poetry… I still don´t know who you are but I feel your presence, strongly, within my art…
@Helen
as my French visitors siad to my painting, I repeat it to your poem:
Splendide!
You really make me look at my work in a very different way, not with eyes of the painter who painted it… a fascinating experience to follow YOUR words following YOUR eyes following YOUR imagination…
and what a great ending with the signature in the middle of the painting!
@Eva
Merci Eva… I hope you found your bird of hope, but in fact I am quite sure that he is always inside of you, his head pointing to South..
@Susan
Thank you to you for our common life into the Fantascapes!

Ola, Miki ! Tu pintura me gusta mucho, mucho !
Tu joues avec les couleurs avec un réel bonheur et , moi qui te disais pourtant préférer tes oeuvres plus “figuratives”, je suis vraiment étonné de ces harmonies.
Mais ne sont-elles pas tout simplement le reflet de ta personne ?

Hola, querido Joel! Tu comentario me gusta mucho, mucho! Muchissimas gracias!
Si contente de te lire ici… Tu sais, j´ai souvent remarqué, que ce a quoi les gens réagissent emotionnellement quand ils regardent une peinture, c´est au delà des notions de réalisme, abstrait, figuratif, etc… Dans 90% des cas, ils réagissent basiquement aux couleurs, aux contrastes et a l´harmonie, cela me semble des valeurs profondément ancrees dans l´être humain, beaucoup plus profondément que les autres énoncées plus haut, qui finalement sont le résultat de l´évolution culturelle. Comme j´ai une personnalité très contrastée et colorée, cela se reflète dans ma peinture, bien sur, et c´est fascinant pour moi de voir les reactions des gens, qui comme toi, s´ouvrent a des aspects nouveaux de la peinture, et s´en étonnent eux´mêmes… je l´ai déjà dit a beaucoup d´amis peintres qui peinaient a vivre de la peinture: couleurs, contrastes et harmonie, c´est le secret du business!
Hasta luego!
