I think children do that a lot:) – when I was a little girl I used to put seaside collections of stones, shards of coloured glass, pebbles, that sort of thing, into glass jars with water in and then line them up on a window sill in the sunshine/light. (I would pick them up from the beach when we were on holiday and I well remember the terrible disappointment of watching all the colours fading as they dried out…). The thought that children do the same things everywhere in the world, is a great comfort to me as I get older esp. as the world seems to be getting uglier by the minute.. The “Too good” comment is great Syed… I laughed. you see: I almost didn’t post these drawings as I rarely think “showing off” how well you can make a likeness of something has much to do with the business of making art….. /P
*INFO* - I'm PO N O R - Everything that appears here is made by me: a.k.a. linda palmer. If you want to know more or need to contact me about my work, feel welcome. Ahh yeah..In case you might be wondering: Originally the name P O N O R was from the acronym. p.o.n.o.r / p.o.n.r and means (the) Point Of NO Return. There's a few different meanings to the acronym, Depending if you're a Brit or a from the U.S. look it up if you're curious. Anyway... It was the name I chose for my first blog at a Swedish blog site a few years ago. The name's just stuck around since then and most of the things I make, or am in the process of making I publish here at P O N O R wordpress. I don't talk much here, and sorry, if that's irritating - it's not because I can't or don't want to, but because I believe it's up to you, (the viewer), to come to your own conclusion(s) about stuff. ((((Revision: I've started talking more:) but the other bit about your reaction to the "quietness" of the visual image still stands. Images often take time to percolate :))))) If something grabs your attention and you like it, fine :) If not, it's no big deal. If you want to comment please go ahead, all contributions welcome - I try and comment back if questions are asked. Thanks for the interest. :)
*First time here? Have a look around before you whizz off:) Trying to understand how everything fits together when you don’t always understand the basics is daunting…You just start to think you’re the only one who doesn’t get stuff :) Anyway….From now on you’ll find me hanging around *here and I’ll be blogging [...] […]
Really nice. reminds me of the shells and all kinds of small rocks I used to collect.. too good !!
