Description
Oil on Canvas
This was my first attempt at capturing the feeling of water.
It then struck me that it reflects something of people's natures. How difficult it is to not be swayed around by every wind of thought and opinion and circumstance that happens to blow our way, no matter how gently!
In an age of quick
And convenient consumerism,
Whimsy rules
With pettish toss of head,
Quicker to change colour
Than a chameleon.
The second part to this parable is in my other post 'Ocean Deep' which can be viewed here:

Excellent impressionist abstract of water. You colors are superb and the choppy movement is right on target. Your words are so meaningful and in keeping with your continued excellence of expression as an artist and writer. I'm so happy to see you post a painting again! Hugs x:)

Hello Hanevi, Thanks for sharing your art and poems. I hope you're not one of those who expect comments to always be: Oh, how wonderful!" and can hear some real reactions from viewers/readers. I like the subtle way the waves look. I'm not a painter but I know what I look at... But, something was missing for me in the image. Too much of the same motion with nothing to bring it to a climax. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself correctly. Your poem is strong, but as the painting, for me it was like reading the first verse and waiting for more to come. The first line starts with: In an age of..." and somehow the thought was not developed further. I like the idea of writing poems inspired by art, as a matter of fact, I did it a few times myself, not to my own art regretfully, for I'm not an accomplished artist. Well done and please know that my comments come from the heart and no intention of hurting your feelings. Hanna
