drawing challenge 166: stars




for this drawing challenge
i show a piece called 'Girl with Star' by Kiki Smith
which i think fits the theme perfectly

a kneeling girl
spreads her hands in awe
as a metaphor for the child in us
that the contact with nature
still holds

for the links to the other participants please visit Veronica's blog here



voor deze drawing challenge
toon ik een werk genaamd 'Girl with Star' van Kiki Smith
waarvan ik denk dat perfect past bij het thema

een knielende meisje
spreidt haar handen vol ontzag
als een metafoor voor het kind in ons
dat het contact met de natuur
nog niet verloren heeft

  2. Gosh that is beautiful and moving. I really feel like sculpting again...after about 25 years and first divorce where many pieces were shattered against a wall...long story. But every time I see a beautiful sculpture, I feel like making one. Thank you so much for this lovely arrangement, off to the link now. Big hugs. X

  5. What a wonderful find, dear Patrice, it fits so well. These gesture... moving. In my imagination I go into this position... and feel humility
    and eternity facing stars.

    Thank you, Dear.
    Love
    Ariane.

  10. It seems like an age since I have had time to look up and leave a comment here.
    There is light at the end of the tunnel :)
    And this image has helped centre me before an important assessment this afternoon.
