A Painting by : Shree
Expressive Excellence by : Wendy Slee
Well friends this is a painted moment of two sisters swinging together after whole days work, where one is elder sister and another is younger sharing and discussing their friendly issues from their lives. I wanted to show their love, bond, respect, intimacy, closeness, affection, feeling of security and a sense of friendship being two real sisters that they can share and exchange anything as they are more like friends than sisters. In my country India its a tradition that after the family lunch or a dinner all the males sit together in a family room to relax and share a little talk on general issues and all the ladies of the house sit in ladies room where in the centre there is a big engraved swing hanged and the eldest lady of the house sit along with others on that swing and they too share and make fun on their daily issues. My artistic painting is excellently expressed by one of the finest artists on RB – WENDY SLEE…read her awesome poetic thoughts and enjoy this swinging moments .!!!!!!!
*A moment in time,
Gently swinging,
Carefree,
The future poised, anticipating,
For a moment holds its breath,
Potential radiates out in all directions
Awaiting our choices,
The waves we will make,
Such simple footsteps,
Our perfect creation.
*Back and forth
We ebb and flow
In peaceful acknowledgement
Like the tides,
Rhythmic and harmonic
Children, daughters, sisters,
Then mothers and grandmothers,
The perpetual unfurling and
Inevitable drawing of life back into itself
And beyond.
*In your eyes I see myself
Reflecting back,
The years before,
The childhood joys,
Moments shared and hands held,
Words passed,
Secrets told,
Whispers in the dark…
How our beauty unfolds
In the bloom of each others faces.
The river of woman flows
Before us, beckoning,
The innocence of our childhood
Left behind on its shores.
Rippling and shining in divine femininity,
The waters of the future await,
Daring us to drink deeply and move on.
Hands no longer need grasp
What the heart already holds.
Where shall we go from here?
