Go to Sleep, Darlings...
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields
It covers them snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, Go to Sleep, Darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll
Maggie usually sits and watches me paint and when she tires of doing that she looks out the window of the room but these days, Emma has a cat video camera set up in front of the window. Nothin to see😿💙
"Devenir Gris, Devenir Gris Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song
Aaah, we fade to grey" There was a time I was young and getting old was so, so far away.
It is raining, again. I feel the rain in my bones but I adore it, its pitter-pattering on the window pane quiets my mind and I drift back.
I was an eighties girl. I loved the music, the clubs, and dancing. Life was simple, never imperiled, easy and free to love. A youth, almost perfect then only now, I'm much older, timeworn, feeling the years, lost in a chilling world. I watched Notre Dame burn this week, I choked, my vision signed. So much loss : (
I did this illustration of a girl inspired by Modigliani.
VISAGE
Its titled "Visage ". A girl with a haunting, melancholic look..."two eyes staring cold and silent. "
It's a homage to Notre Dame Cathedral and the people of France.
Devenir gris
Devenir gris One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes staring cold and silent Show fear as he turns to hide Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Un homme dans une gare isolée Une valise a ses cotés Des yeux fixes et froids Montre de la peur lorsqu'il Se tourne pour se cacher Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine Sortant de derriere d'un poster Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song Stepping out from a back shop poster Wishing life wouldn't be so long
Below I'm sharing a youtube video of "Fade to Grey " remix done by:

Twilight at Sea
The Twilight Hours like birds flew by, As lightly and as free; Ten thousand stars were in the sky, Ten Thousand on the sea; For every wave with dimpled face, That leaped upon the air, Had caught a star in its embrace, And held it trembling there.
