oil pastel, collage on bristol paper
my friend is going to turkey soon.
so today as i draw this asian face
i am transported to another world.
i remember sitting in a dimly lit 12th century camel stop
with immense ceilings and archways
as whirling dervishes
twirl to the rhythm of
ancient sounds
in search of rapture
image from www.wittisstambul.com
with the glint of day
once again i found my way
ah, i am not lost
haiku from my heart linked to friends at rebecca's site

As I look at this piece I just want to know what she is thinking. Giving the viewer the desire for more information is a talent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicate and lovely face you have created. And I love the warm feeling your haiku gave me. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a lovely piece Irene! You've captured something wonderful here.
