drawing challenge 104: proverb or saying







there are so many fine sentences that i would like to quote
but i chose this one
Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder
because of the word wonder
the wonder of life, such as
the metamorphosis 
of my sons, from boy to man
or the opening of the flower bud of a peony
just the wonder 
of everyday

linocut on handmade paper, embroidered

spreekwoord of gezegde

er zijn zo veel mooie zinnen die ik zou willen citeren 
maar ik koos voor deze
Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder
vanwege het woord wonder, verwondering
het wonder van het leven, zoals
de metamorfose 
van mijn zonen, van jongen naar man
of het openen van de bloemknop van een pioenroos
gewoon het wonder 
van alle dag

  4. Wow the juxtaposition of the heavier linocut impression with the fine line of the thread/black against white with white again on top...is fabulous. This is so fabulous Patrice. I feel like she could fly off the page at any moment and love this tension. What the image does from my eye to my brain is great. When I 'see' movement in art where there really is no movement just fascinates me no end. I enjoyed this theme very much and thank you for hosting it!! Norma, xo

  9. we schould try, dear Patrice, to put on our wings and feel light and see the wonder just happening before our very eyes.
    how beautiful the contrast between the dark lines of the woman carrying the weight of gloomy thoughts, vulnerable she's standing there but the wings make the difference, they make the picture hopefull and light.
    it's a joy to look at this piece.
    thanks for hosting a great theme, xx

  17. Dearest Patrice,
    maybe it is because E.B. White is even a author of childrens books... 'Stuart Little'... When I look at your wonderful artpiece I feel overwhelmed with emotions. I have your other beautiful artpiece before my very eyes... little girl with cross. Its the same depth. And the same little stitch in my heart.
    Love the lines of your naked woman, strong but open... that black against that tender white wings... mmmh that paper! Great artpiece, Dear! Just love it.

    Thank you for beeing our host, even when you are so busy at work.

    Love
    xo Ariane.

  21. The presence of wonder - yes... it reminds me of another saying: bidden or not bidden, god is present. Your piece is wonderful - spare and elegant.
