I see the eyes conveying what the mouth (and hidden heart) can't say. I remember being a child waiting and waiting for the mail to come - seems an eon ago. My granddaughter is currently waiting for a gift she picked out and that I ordered; production and shipping are delayed, as is so much else, due to COVID. We just have to wait - and so I especially cling to your ending with hope here, Irene. After all the noise and even the silences.<br /><br />-FranFran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-22141979736166324402020-07-24T15:49:36.628-05:002020-07-24T15:49:36.628-05:00Oh...this is magical, Irene.Oh...this is magical, Irene.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-50829372059739901492020-07-24T14:49:23.811-05:002020-07-24T14:49:23.811-05:00Sometimes you read a poem

It made me think how each is used and how we choose, if that makes sense.

The older I get, the more I enjoy abstract art and what one can find in it. You inspire me. I'd love a little lesson on how you find your art pieces to write about. How do you go about finding just red things? Do you visit museums virtually and pick and choose? Or, do you search specifically? I may want to try this with a different color.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-44137173905796928242020-07-24T06:45:44.090-05:002020-07-24T06:45:44.090-05:00Powerful, Irene.
