Autumn grapevines

This is a pastel drawing I did a few weeks ago.

Gold Dust
Tori Amos

Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year

I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE

Whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along

You said you raced from Langley
pulling me underneath
a cherry blossom canopy
Do I have
of course I have,
beneath my raincoat,
I have your photographs.
And the sun on your face
I’m freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie cries
and says “Enjoy his every smile
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars”
How did it go so fast
you’ll say
as we are looking back
and then we’ll understand
we held gold dust
in our hands

Sights and Sounds
pull me back down another year

I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE

Gaslights glow in the street
(flickering past)
Twilight held us in her palm
as we walked along
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along

Letting names
Hang in the air
What color hair
(auburn crimson)
Autumn knowingly stared
and the day that she came
I’m freezing that frame
I’m freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie smiles
and says “Enjoy her every cry
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes
Of Laura Mars”

How did it go so fast
You’ll say as we are looking back
and then we’ll understand
We held gold dust
in our hands

in our hands

Love what you’ve done here, Helene. Autumn colours don’t really exist up here in Brissy….so I always enjoy seeing them when I can.

Nice work. I have some oil pastels but I’m scared to use them. How do you achieve such controlled fine lines?
Helene Kippert

These are chalk pastels Dave and it was largely a process of trial and error. Chalk pastels are very forgiving I’ve found. Thanks for your comment.
