Art When We Need It The Most
Together we are facing an unprecedented crisis. During these uncertain times, many of us are leaning on activities and thoughts that give us comfort.
I am learning that, for a growing number of people, art and poetry are adding a dimension of distraction, joy, and fun to their day. Today, I am sharing "Tania." in hopes this painting gives a moment of relief from your daily worries.
Portraits & Poetry
The subject of the painting, Tania, is a beautiful young woman whom I discovered on the sktchyapp. Her thoughtful gaze inspired me to combine the age-old wisdom of Rumi with a portrait of this young woman. "Tania" is one of a continuing series of soulful portraits accompanied by a soulful poem.
Combining Art with Poetry Is a Hobby of Mine!
Following is “Hayey & Rupi“ another fun example of combining a portrait with poetry. “Haley & Rupi” is available as a print. The original of “Haley” is available as a charcoal drawing.
Have a good week everyone! Stay safe, stay well.
