Abstract.."At Times"

Abstract.."At Times"


At Times” is part of the Abstract Collection and is inpired by the poem of the same name....how many times when we reach a crossroad in our lives, we become afraid…suddenly all that we were trying to escape seem too good to lose, and the road ahead seems fraught with difficulties…but we’ll never know till we take that first step....for D…

Watercolour on Arches Paper…

At times the mountains seem insurmountable now
As I gaze at them from the safety of a warm, flowering meadow.
There is snow upon the peaks and chill winds
gust angrily above me.
Yet, as beautiful as the meadow is, I have been here too long.
And the song of birds have grown dull,
The flowers seem artificial, and the frogs too content.
I want to fly myself above the peaks, sing my own songs,
And climb till every vestige of every dream is silent.
Why am I afraid to travel where destiny draws me?
Why do I hesitate when a familiar echo deep in the caverns of my heart calls me?
This is no time to reminisce, to watch the circling crows and drifting clouds.
It is time to move lest winter harden my limbs and freeze my fantasies,
It is time to move boldly and bravely and remember
That the purest air is waiting in the heights
And a single step is enough to be on my way
...J. Kavanaugh

    Wonderful poem, I really liking this poet! What I like about this piece is the contrast between the mountaintop, the cooler area at the top with that amazing moon and that lovely spread of wildflowers in the field on the hike on the way up. Super interpretation and beautiful painting!

  • Janis Zroback replied

    You have great insight Joanne…that is exactly what the painting represents, but in an abstract way…I’m so pleased you saw the imagery in the piece and love the poem as well…I have been collecting his work for over 30 years…soon I will introduce another poet that I love…
