LA TORMENTA⠀ ⠀ En la cerrazón de la tormenta ⠀ sólo veía tus espaldas como sombra ⠀ en el centro de la pequeña canoa. ⠀ Sabía que te protegía de la lluvia ⠀ una vieja capucha azul. ⠀ El aburrido ruido del motor ⠀ no nos alejaba del inmenso hervidero ⠀ en que se había convertido el lago. ⠀ La tormenta ⠀ nos había puesto en la mano de un dios enfurecido.⠀ ⠀ Pero casi estábamos dichosos cuando un relámpago⠀ iluminó los grandes árboles de la orilla del lago⠀ y vimos ramas de oro y plata instantáneos.⠀ Entonces volteaste y alargaste tu mano hacia mí:⠀ también te dio miedo la súbita oferta de fulgurar⠀ y desaparecer.⠀ ⠀ STORM⠀ ⠀ In the closing of the storm⠀ I only saw your back as a shadow⠀ in the center of the little canoe.⠀ I knew it protected you from the rain⠀ an old blue hood.⠀ The boring noise of the engine⠀ did not take us away from the immense hive⠀ what the lake had become.⠀ Storm⠀ he had placed us in the hand of an enraged god.⠀ ⠀ But we were almost happy when a flash of lightning⠀ lit up the big trees on the shore of the lake⠀ and we saw instant gold and silver branches.⠀ Then you turned and stretched out your hand to me:⠀ You were also afraid of the sudden offer to flash⠀ and disappear.⠀ ⠀ José Watanabe⠀ Banderas detrás de la niebla / Flags behind the fog⠀ & Michael Zolnowski @zolofigures (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #portraitpainting #portraitart #drypastel #drypastels #drypastelonpaper #pastelpaint #pastelpainting #pastelpaintings #pastelpaints #pastelpainter #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativeportrait #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #michaelzolnowski https://www.instagram.com/p/CL6KYjQn7qF/?igshid=119fglcd5d92i

"Nadie puede aconsejarle ni ayudarle, nadie. Hay sólo un único medio. Entre en usted. Examine ese fundamento que usted llama escribir; ponga a prueba si extiende sus raíces hasta el lugar más profundo de su corazón; reconozca si se moriría usted si se le privara de escribir. Esto, sobre todo: pregúntese en la hora más silenciosa de su noche: ¿debo escribir? Excave en sí mismo, en busca de una respuesta profunda. Y si ésta hubiera de ser de asentimiento, si hubiera usted de enfrentarse a esta grave hnpregunta con un enérgico y sencillo debo, entonces construya su vida según esa necesidad: su vida, entrando hasta su hora más indiferente y pequeña, debe ser un signo y un testimonio de ese impulso. Entonces, aproxímese a la naturaleza. Entonces, intente, como el primer hombre, decir lo que ve y lo que experimenta y ama y pierde."⠀ ⠀ "No one can advise or help you, no one. There is only one way. Enter you. Examine that foundation you call writing; test if you extend your roots to the deepest place of your heart; acknowledge whether you would die if you were deprived of writing. This, especially: ask yourself in the quietest hour of your night: should I write? Dig into yourself, looking for a deep answer. And if this were to be one of assent, if you were to face this serious question with an energetic and simple must, then build your life according to that need: your life, entering until its most indifferent and smallest hour, must be a sign and a testament to that drive. So get closer to nature. So try, like the first man, to say what you see and what you experience and love and lose."⠀ ⠀ Rainer Maria Rilke⠀ Cartas a un joven poeta / Letters to a young poet⠀ & Paula Rego (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #portraitpainting #pastelpaint #pastelpainting #pasteloncanvas #pastelpainter #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativeportrait #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #lpaulareho https://www.instagram.com/p/CJicjR9nC-Y/?igshid=ousx6153la27

This is my finished piece for my Friday online class of a sheep crossing somewhere in Greece. Photo reference taken by Melissa Rallis. This was painted in PanPastel, soft pastel and began with an alcohol wash to stabilize the values early on. Next week we’re painting a floral arrangement with a watercolor underpainting. Join us! Link to enroll is in my bio site. 🐑🫶 . . . @alice_anita #pastelpainter #softpastelart #landscapepainting #jenniferlindermanart #sheepcrossing #green #pastelist #onlineartclass #virtualclass (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpq4btWJ4qQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inventar el regreso del mundo⠀ después de su desaparición.⠀ E inventar un regreso a ese mundo⠀ desde nuestra desaparición.⠀ Y reunir las dos memorias,⠀ para juntar todos los detalles.⠀ ⠀ Hay que ponerle pruebas al infinito,⠀ para ver si resiste.⠀ __________________________⠀ Invent the return of the world⠀ after his disappearance.⠀ And invent a return to that world⠀ since our disappearance.⠀ And gather the two memories⠀ to gather all the details.⠀ ⠀ You have to test infinity,⠀ to see if it resists.⠀ ⠀ ‍‍Roberto Juarroz⠀ Poesía Vertical VII / Vertical Poetry VII⠀ & Ulrike Theusner @ulriketheusner (artist)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #portraitpainting #pastelpaint #pastelpainting #pastelonpaper #pastelpainter #pastelportrait #pastelpaintings #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativeportrait #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #ulriketheusner https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKbwJin4pg/?igshid=nskjlqy4ly3t

"Alfonso se subió la manta hasta la barbilla y, como conclusión de una larga reflexión sobre el camino de las cosas humanas, murmuró:⠀ -El hombre tendría que poder vivir dos vidas: una para él y otra para los demás."⠀ ⠀ "Alfonso pulled the blanket up to his chin and, as a conclusion to a long reflection on the path of human things, he murmured:⠀ -A man should be able to live two lives: one for himself and one for others."⠀ ⠀ Italo Svevo⠀ Una vida / A life⠀ & Ulrike Theusner @ulriketheusner (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #portraitpainting #pastelpaint #pastelpainting #pastelonpaper #pastelpainter #pastelportrait #pastelpaintings #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativeportrait #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #ulriketheusner https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ09MDXHkha/?igshid=ik9uenytqbr2
