I recently found a new artist whose work I very much adore.
Besides her whimsical and multi faceted style in collage and color,
Wyanne Thompson’s knack in achieving a marriage of two art forms into one oversize mural is phenomenal!
I would say that inspiration is boundless and old cemeteries are one such stimulating place.
For Wyanne Thompson, her inspiration rose from a song and a place, a very quite place.

A fairytale yarn sung by Kate Nash, subliminally floating into the Florida artist’s mind,was magically transformed unto paper with paint and graduated into the world of the living.
I happened upon her youtube video of Mariella; a delight and surprise when I started to listen to the words of the song.
It is the way she creates her art that I really luv; it’s the way that I do.

Our surroundings are connected to us; we only have to look in macro.
This is quite interesting and I really enjoyed watching it. We live on a sphere surrounded by life which all derives from diverse sources. The unlike is what art and life is all about…uniqueness!

~Where Have You Gone To My Lovely~

Enduring love, originally uploaded by IrenaS.

Where have you gone to…. my lovely
So far and away from the world?
Is it not so
Your beauty and youth
Were just beginning to gently unfurl

The trees that surround you
Tell the story so well
Shed of their leaves from sorrow so vast
Stand naked and dark against a fading sky of golden glass

Space… oh so still and serene
A park of unbroken love and broken dreams
Affirmed by the monuments that
Stand silent and so strikingly seen

I quietly walk past the stones
That rise from the depths of the earth
And look for the one that
Lies on the bed made of marble and stone
With a heart in the folds of her dress

I stand here above you
In this forest that travels to no infinity's end
and place my cold kiss upon your head


Always have loved you
From the dawn of your birth
To the dusk of your death
Now even more
In this everlasting still life that’s been tenderly cast

N.B. I didn't forget to complete "The Secret Door". I only got side tracked....couldn't help it. I have such any easier time writing about melancholy glum.It obviously helps a tad in writing these sad words when I’ve been terribly sick and unable to even get out of bed. In waves of sickness I tried to post yesterday and read my fav blogs but to no avail; not to mention I was having trouble remembering passwords. The long two day sleep helped lots and my husband was summoned to come home early. My son ended up taking the day off school to take care of me and the dog so in all everything combined helped in my recovering a little sooner that I anticipated; still not so well thou .Next .... “ The Secret Door”.
