A Walk With Van Gogh
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now.
Starry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist’s LOVING hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lover’s often do
But I could have told you,
Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Like the strangers that you’ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
A silver thorn
A bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will – Words by Don McLean

This is so soothing and relaxing Sophie….the color choices, the textures; very uplifting and beautiful! Then I blinked and all was gone.....but you have captured it here for Eternity!!!

Oh, how I love the way you make one want to dive into the colors…;)

I’d favorite this three times, if I could figure out how. Once for the color, once for the texture, and once for the way they go together! Gorgeious!

Gentle like a medow of tall grass waving in the wind.A man with a smile perhaps talking with someone. I see a neckpiece perhaps native and the stone of a building remind us of progress.
Much doing here Sophie.
