your eyes, a sea of endless blue

reflect the depths of skies anew

a gentle breeze, a whispered sigh

as memories dance and quickly fly

the waves of thoughts, they softly crash

against the shores of where you dash

with every glance, a hidden shore

where secrets lie and I explore

the sea in your eyes

your longing for more

let me be your coastline

your safest harbour 

at the roughest shore

 Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is represented by the bull, an earth sign ruled by Venus. People born under this sign are known for their strong, reliable, and stable nature. The astrological symbol of Taurus reflects their characteristics, strength, determination, and a grounded personality. Those born between April 20 and May 20 fall under the Taurus zodiac sign. And so am I.

Observing, photographing, and painting frogs is a lifelong pleasure for me. Maybe their part in the fairytales during my childhood, maybe their feature of transformation. I don't know it exactly. But I think they like me too, because we've had some in our garden for years.

I wasn't satisfied with the original painting on the encaustic board, so I tried washing off the pigment. Unfortunately, that only worked very poorly. I then primed the board again with Qor Aquarelle Ground. That worked even worse, and it resulted in a lot of vertical lines. However, as I thought about this motif, I realized the lines would fit the subject well.
