blood ties, a family tree, its roots firmly in the ground
history, ancestors
we, now, a family of four with a dog
fragile twigs, the future
my family portrait
for more family, see Greta
familie
bloedbanden, een stamboom, zijn wortels stevig in de grond
geschiedenis, voorouders
wij, nu, een gezin van vier met een hond
voorzichtige twijgjes, de toekomst
mijn familieportret
voor meer familie, zie Greta
see, patrice. i dig this. your entry so moves me. i don't like to admit it, but this is what i feel when i think of family. i try to get my head and heart around family, as we know it, and although you may have left the family faceless for different reasons, this feels soothing to me. i would go for faceless faces anytime. does say an awful lot about me, actually....
BeantwoordenVerwijderen[i also would like to add that i feel rather intimate with my closest relations, you know)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenheel mooi! die kleuren, en
hoe sterk het is zonder gezichten, of zonder de details van het gezicht.
dit wordt spannend!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenthis is just wonderful : )
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is such beautiful work Patrice, love the combination of techniques and i agree, leaving your family faceless has a great effect, deepening as it were, the bond between you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenxx
Patrice (!)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI do not have the words to describe how much your works moves me. It indicates nearly anything.
A family's influence is forever. The great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy said "All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." (Not indicating that you are unhappy, just thinking about my own from the past).
Amazing work, love everything in your picture, the roots, the tree, family portrait!
