NOTHING is the strongest of claims

Fading into nothingness

Sometimes,
We are afraid to let go of old habits
Because it might turn us into nothing
But,
NOTHING is louder than all claims
NOTHING is saying I AM
It is saying Different
NOTHING is contrary to claiming
Yet,it is the strongest one…
It is BEING.

This is me having a bit of fun decorating my lioness painting which I had posted previously, with shells ( another passion of mine 🙂 ) I selected along the years.

My shell collection 2012

My shell collection 2012
©copyright2013owpp

This is a shell collection of many years. When we walk on the beaches,
any beach, I like to keep busy, head bent, in search of the unusual
shape, size or color.

Not so long ago, I spoke to my art teacher ( yes, I still need her
advice from time to time 🙂 ) and she suggested this assemblage stuck
on canvasses of different shapes and color.

Today, I thought it was a good idea to share it with you all!

The splitting of the sea 2011

The splitting of the sea 2011

This is the first time I tried to work with gold. It’s a color I’m very fond of yet find a bit tricky
to work with, as it can transform a good painting into some kitsch looking design.

I still love it and liked the effect it had in this Theme but somehow never used it again. I go with the emotion
and if it doesn’t guide me toward a material or subject, I just listen…

Let me know what you think of it!

Wake up my solitary ! 1987 ( Translation from French in post below as “Réveilles toi mon solitaire!” )

Posted on October 2, 2012 by oawritingspoemspaintings

Hi everyone!

Here’s the translation which I know is not ideal, nevertheless I appreciate you, making the effort
to read it, for the bilinguals, I hope you enjoyed it ! Have a lovely day !

The solitary
————–

You, the solitary
You only read your universe
That defies the customs of time
That shuns proprieties, people

Asphyxiated when surrounded
Anguished when neglected
You deny hypocrisy
And you search in vain, THEE friend

Honesty in others
Harmony, half words said
Silence, always understood
Little, but a lifetime

You demand a world
Which does not exist on earth
You run after a dream
That shatters when dawn breaks

Wake up my solitary !
