the mixed emotions
of our sheltering sky
paintings by
JMW Turner
we're always at a loss for
words when trying to recall
a sunset or that feeling
before a big storm
and after...
when the
clouds lift
and the light
becomes more
magnificent than
on a clear day.
even though we
think we have control,
we spend every moment of our
waking lives trying to express,
understand and articulate what
we're feeling or experiencing
on this foreign planet
and
in our own
minds
to confront that chaos
we use whatever we can
get our hands on to
make sense of it
and people still ask
"why does art matter"?
ps:
"I couldn't
possibly tell you.
It's here.
Can't you feel it?
everything is
in color and I can
feel the air"

Beautiful words, also the paintings of course.
I love the title of your blog, great post.
yes, yes, and yes.
Quelle coïncidence ! Ce sont justement ces splendides images de tempête sur la mer que je vais montrer à mes élèves, je suis professeur d'art plastique dans un collège en France.
Votre blog est magnifique et je vais très souvent m'y promener avec beaucoup de plaisir.
Continuez s'il vous plaît !
