I read through the post, looking at all the wonderful artwork, and returned to it and the sheer beauty and perfection of it brought tears to my eyes - and isn’t that what great art should do? We need more of that for 2020 so I wish you a very creative and joyful 2020!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-49509694151549182072019-12-16T09:57:26.310-08:002019-12-16T09:57:26.310-08:00A December Dusk is so beautiful - and I am that pe...A December Dusk is so beautiful - and I am that person standing in the light of the Christmas tree, letting the magic seep into me.<br />Great poem too - in fact a feast of presents, thank you Randall!

Your sea images seem so apt for the times we're in: Yes, the storm is coming! And I fear it. <br /><br />Thank you for an intro to Gray and Dupre, and your always insightful comments.<br /><br />Wagoner's poetry speaks loudly to me, and I think I'll borrow a couple of lines from the poem here to use in a Thought for the Day. I've recently "discovered" the work of the poet Jane Mead (her first collection is astounding; I'm reading her collected works), and also Lyn Lifshin, who died recently, another whose use of language leaves me in awe.<br /><br />Good luck with your digital adventure!

It sounds like you had some trouble with...Randall,<br /><br />It sounds like you had some trouble with "Surrounding The Creek" but honestly, I love the colors! Subtle yet substantial. It's so soft and kind of wintery and just perfect.<br /><br />I am not crazy about the holidays but I do like the winter a lot. I like the short days and darkness. The summer light and endless days overwhelm me. (And now the fire threat upsets me.) I could do without the nonsense of shopping and false "once a year" celebrating, however.<br /><br />Don's work is so varied. I always feel like he is very, very focused in on what he wants to say or do. I'd like to see his work in person. You have some good "art" friends:)<br /><br />Another great post, thank you. Hope you are doing well.<br />Libby<br /><br />Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.com
