# 14 by emotionsbilder

Acrylic on canvas / Acryl auf Leinwand, approx./ca. 90×100 cm. Original available via emotionsbilder Emotional Images are images which were painted in particularly energetic and healing surroundings. („Painting with the Soul“). This healing energy becomes apparent when viewing the images. Each acrylic image is unique. If a particular image appeals to you, it means that it is addressing a certain inner issue which wants a „closer look“. Emotionsbilder sind Bilder, welche in einem besonderen energetischen und heilenden Umfeld gemalt wurden. („Malen mit der Seele“) Diese heilende Kraft wird bei Betrachtung der Bilder deutlich. Die mit Acrylfarben gemalten Bilder sind alles Unikate. Wenn Sie ein besonderes Bild anspricht, wurde bei Ihnen ein inneres Thema angesprochen und möchte „angeschaut“ werden.

(If you think you have found one, try and name both the artist and the painting, or, if the answer is a book or poem, the author and the title. begin at the start of the thread and write the answers in the sequence that you find them). Because this has been so popular we are opening it up to all of our members – That’s right even is you haven’t participated in the forum. Just visit the thread, screenplay try to find as many paintings and artists which have been mentioned. / Then place your answers in a specially set up moderated thread that can only be seen by the group hosts – after they have been checked the winner will be announced. .................................................

Also allowed and encouraged are artworks in mixed media, as long as one of the media is pastel and Digitally enhanced works if the hand done pastel is still evident. / Every month a pastel artist is interviewed for a showcase on the homepage, this month was Padrino,.

Portrait..Beatrice by Janis Zroback

When exactly nine years had passed since this gracious being appeared to me, as I have described, it happened that on the last day of this intervening period this marvel appeared before me again, dressed in purest white, walking between two other women of distinguished bearing, both older than herself. As they walked down the street she turned her eyes toward me where I stood in fear and trembling, and with her ineffable courtesy, which is now rewarded in eternal life, she greeted me; and such was the virtue of her greeting that I seemed to experience the height of bliss. It was exactly the ninth hour of day when she gave me her sweet greeting. As this was the first time she had ever spoken to me, I was filled with such joy that, my senses reeling, I had to withdraw from the sight of others. So I returned to the loneliness of my room and began to think about this gracious person. Dante (La Vita Nuova III) Dante first met Beatrice when he was nine and she was a year younger…he was entranced with her, but they did not meet again until nine years later..he went home and wrote what is considered to be one of the worlds greatest romantic poems, “La Vita Nuova”... many painters have recorded their meeting on the bridge…however there is only one (presumed) portrait of her…I discovered it after I painted this and there is no resemblance.. / Dante thought her angelic…I hope you think the same of my Beatrice...

Still Life...Terracotta Morning by Janis Zroback

This new addition to the Still Life series, evokes a sunny morning in Provence or Tuscany…..the intense light making the squash almost become one with the tiled background which are in the same limited palette…this painting fits with my series of sepia coloured work…new additions to that series are coming soon.... Watercolour on DrawMaster Not Paper “Winter squashes are the forgotten vegetables. Almost no / vegetable is as easy to grow or keep. With fertile soil, full / sun and ample water, vines take off. And after plants / become established, they’re so carefree, it’s easy to / forget them until fall when their rediscovery makes / the harvest that much sweeter”.....Andy Tomolonis
Landscape..The Third Sorrow by Janis Zroback

This is my interpretation of the “Third Sorrow” of Ted Hughes “Seven Sorrows of Autumn”, which on the surface appears to be a sad poem but I think it’s really a paean to autumn....see the Fourth Sorrow below Watercolour on Watercolour on DrawMaster Paper FEATURED IN JPG CAST 0FFS / MORNINGS AND EVENINGS..SUNBEAMS AND STORMS / INSPIRED ART The first sorrow of autumn / Is the slow goodbye / Of the garden who stands so long in the evening- / A brown poppy head, / The stalk of a lily, / And still cannot go. The second sorrow / Is the empty feet / Of a pheasant who hangs from a hook with his brothers. / The woodland of gold / Is folded in feathers / With its head in a bag. And the third sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the sun who has gathered the birds and who gathers / The minutes of evening, / The golden and holy / Ground of the picture. The fourth sorrow / Is the pond gone black / Ruined and sunken the city of water- / The beetle’s palace, / The catacombs / Of the dragonfly. And the fifth sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the woodland that quietly breaks up its camp. / One day it’s gone. / It has only left litter- / Firewood, tentpoles. And the sixth sorrow / Is the fox’s sorrow / The joy of the huntsman, the joy of the hounds, / The hooves that pound / Till earth closes her ear / To the fox’s prayer. And the seventh sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the face with its wrinkles that looks through the window / As the year packs up / Like a tatty fairground / That came for the children....Ted Hughes / The Fourth Sorrow
The Potting Shed by Janis Zroback

“The Potting Shed” is the first of a Series by the same name... / “Autumn is a good season for beginning to live gently. It is the time for harvesting the fruits of winter planning, spring planting and summer husbandry. With a good harvest, we can take the first steps to live a more gentle lifestyle or at least to start planning for changes in lifestyle. We can store our harvest, whether of food, knowledge or financial resources, from which to draw as we make the transition from our current lifestyle to one which walks more gently on the landscape. A portion of that harvest can be enjoyed now, in celebration and thanksgiving of the successes of the past. A portion of the harvest should also be saved. Saved for the time until the next harvest. Saved for seeds for next year’s planting. Saved for the future as a safety net against unforseen setbacks. An abundant harvest gives us the resources to easily enter the period of winter planning and spring planting. A time for renewing our commitment to a more gentle life”.Living Gently Quarterly… Gouache and Watercolour on Grey St Armand Linen Paper with Collaged Mesh Cloth… 947 Views We’re planting this coming long weekend, so the pots will be taken out of their winter nest of burlap, and brought into the warmth of the spring sunshine....a tribute to the areas of the world where warm weather now prevails… Soft syllables, gentle names for the two best months / in the garden year: cool, misty mornings gently burned away with a / warming spring sun, followed by breezy afternoons and chilly nights. / The discussion of philosophy is over; it’s time for work to begin.....Peter Loewer
Abstract-The Centre of Your Soul by Janis Zroback

“The Centre of Your Soul is part of the Abstract Collection..look closely and the brush strokes will seem to coalesce into the imagery expressed in the poem... / I started to create the work with the poem running through my head, and as the brush moved across the paper, the abstract image emerged at the same time as the water, garden, and river made their presence known. / It was exactly as I wanted it to be…a feeling of great depth, a submergence of self, and surrender to the soul. Watercolour and Watercolour mediums on Arches Not Paper… 1032 Views Features in Prize Challenges There is a quiet water / In the center of your soul, / Where a son or daughter / Can be taught what no man knows. There’s a fragrant garden / In the center of your soul, / Where the weak can harden / And a narrow mind can grow. There’s a rolling river / In the center of your soul, / An eternal giver / With a rich and endless flow. There’s a land of muses / In the center of your soul, / Where the rich are losers / and the poor are free to go. So remain with me, then, / To pursue another goal / And to find your freedom / In the center of your soul.. J. Kavanaugh
