The contrast of shadows and light

A thoughtful black-and-white portrait of a man shows a ton of emotion and introspection. You can really see the lines on his face and feel the heaviness of his thoughts. The play of shadows and light highlights his furrowed brow and slight frown, hinting at some personal struggles and deep reflections. Every little detail makes you think about the quiet stories behind his gaze, sparking a sense of empathy and a better understanding of what it means to be human.

How to describe this portrait I took was a bit tricky, but this is what I came up with, does it resonate with you?

First thing I saw this morning was my garden blanketed in snow.

I’m going to study graphic monotype.

This weekend, I’m diving back into learning monotypia again, and man, it’s tough! The results are hardly ever what I’m going for. But honestly, I still find it pretty hard and rewarding the same time. There’s something really special about those unexpected outcomes that pop up with each try. Mostly disappointments. Each print tells a little story and gives me a peek into my struggling journey. I’m just hoping that through all this experimenting, I can pick up some techniques that boost my skills over time. I’m determined to figure this complex art form out, knowing that getting it right takes a whole lot of patience and practice.

Yes, more than six word. Happy weekend to all 😀

The Dance of Colorful Autumn Leaves

There were two colorful leaves, a vibrant dance,
Then frost whispered in, stealing their chance.
The chill embraced, and one took flight,
Now one lonely leaf lies on the ground, basking in the morning light

A single colorful leaf rests on a textured wooden surface, illuminated by morning light.

There is melancholy in the air

There is a certain melancholy in the air when the midnight ladies bloom. They begin to be the last blooming flowers of summer.

Misty Fields Under September’s Bright Moon

For Debbies Six Word Saturday I offer you a scene from last night: A quiet night, with mist hovering over the field, framed by silhouettes of trees and a fence under a bright moon of September.

A bright Moon of September

Moonlit whispers weave through September’s mist,
Soft silver glow where shadows gently twist.
Veils of vapor, drifting, dance on the breeze,
Nature’s quiet secrets, brought to its knees.
Stars peek shyly from their heavens up high,
As the moon casts its gaze on the world nearby.
A tranquil embrace in the nocturnal hue,
Misty echoes of dreams, woven anew.
