fantastique abstrait création

Schilderij &gedicht vol emoties wel een fantastisch en creatief schilderij.

I only have time for a few comments right now. But I wanted to comment on your 2 most recent images, before another day passes. This is extraordinary, Jacomina. Your poem is almost Buddhist---ie, the outside of the soul is locked and unavailable to the day-to-day world. But the inside is filled with love and light, the light deep inside of you. The poem is very mystical, and it has the simplicity and profundity of Eastern spiritual poems. (By "Eastern," I mean India, China, Japan, etc.)

The face in your painting is like a buddha (the "wise, loving soul within"). I see a closed eye: Perhaps the eye is closed to keep out the harshness of the world...And perhaps the eye is closed to keep its secrets from escaping into the world...But the eye may be closed because, deep inside, the soul sits for eternity, communing with light and with love. So I see peace in this face, even though your poem speaks of keeping the world far away. You use restrul blues and greens here. You've adorned this amazing face with the simplest 'jewels'---little beads. (And remember that meditation is often done with beads.) The textures around the face are beautiful too: a sea of the "objects of the world": Those objects are beautiful.....This person's face (it seems like a female) emerges out of the soil to shine. I can feel the desire to stay hidden in your words; but I see real tranquility inside your image. And, just visually,, your image is beautiful and restful. A powerful piece of art, Jacomina. And it's deep. Your paintings are exceptional.

(Thank you for your comment on my Halloween images: It was a deep comment. I wanted to tell you that you were right: The bottom two images were, for me, positive variations on the original. I actually meant them as a redemption and "sunny" version. Because I think Halloween has much beauty in it---the beautiful fall colors, and th autumn fragraces, and because Halloween was originally a time to greet the spirits of loved ones who have died. It was a "reunion". And, in the Pre-Christian world, October 31st was the end of the year, so Halloween was born out of a New Year celebration. I was really glad that you saw the positive in those last two images: I think my calling them "Halloween images" made people think were 'dark', macabre and sinister. I'm glad you saw the positive in them.)

Wat een schitterend interessant schilderij heb je gemaakt waar heel veel in te ontdekken valt.

Magnificent painting . Beautiful.
