Atelier


Atelier 688

Awake in the deep part of the night.
I have put up and taken down several posts.
Now I shall just cover my wordlessness with blank canvas.
Or maybe parachute cloth protecting frayed wishes.
Imagine cocooning in that place. I am a cliche.

  4. Well, we can both be cliches. I've been obsessing over/poring over pictures of beds and ateliers and other private spaces. I think it means I need rest, but the real kind -- not just sleep, but rest.

  5. I have a totally different take on that fabulous photograph -
    Because of the canvas, and the paintings, I'm assuming the person is an artist.
    I look at the oil paintings and I want to grab my brushes!! :)
    I also thought, "I hope those paintings are totally dry, otherwise that area would really stink ." Ha!
    I wish you a wonderful Holiday, my friend.
    Sending love ~

  6. Isn't it great to have a blog where you can write and work out your feelings, and then take the posts down again if need be? Sometimes silence is the best form of expression. I think I get a sense of your mindset even when you say so little.

  9. Another great sleeping area. I agree though, if this is an active studio it would drive me away with the smells if I was trying to sleep. Perhaps it's not for sleep though.

  10. Kathleen, thank you, dear one. Happy happy to you and your fam.

    Kristin, you know I keep staring into this picture and I don't see any painted canvases. I think that picture on the wall is a photo, and that's a mirror at the foot of the bed. all that to say, i could climb onto that mattress and sleep happily...

  13. Remember the night is a beast form. There's a reason werewolves only come out in darkness. I wonder if the idea started that way - because we seem to transform in the deepest part of night?
    I'll come howl at the moon with you next time.
