Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here
Drawn on 9-10-08 & 12-10-08
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain,
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Words by: Waters and Gilmour from Pink Floyd.

“Be careful what you’re wishing for” says an old adage… and yet, a wish coming straight from the heart is always fulfilled in measure with the heart’s desire… this drawing, Anthea, is so elegant and so revealing in just a few masterful strokes.. a clarity of spirit and heart.
You, my dear friend, never cease to amaze and inspire me.
Anthea Slade replied
Vasile I love your comment on ‘Wish You Were Here’ and I know that old adage as it has become part of my painting Be Careful What You Wish For…yes the heart is a very strong organ and can manifest miracles and magic in life. Your comments are so beautiful Vasile…a magnificent song that hits the exact note of awareness and vision each time. You continuously amaze and inspire me too Vasile, Thank you so much my dear friend.

Do you know who Richard Diebenkorn is? His early work with figures makes me think of yours. That is a compliment.
