“Ah, summer – that long-anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.”

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

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire






That's my version of John Singer Sargent's portrait in charcoal of William Butler Yeats. Again I've used the 12 color-set from Rockwell Canada. They dry a bit pale, but the color range and the granulation is wonderful.

  A painting is not finished when it is put in a frame; it is finished when it is marked by the hand of the artist.
  
 -  John Singer Sargent


That's my version of John Singer Sargent's Lady Helen Venetia Vincent. I was very curious to see if the 12 color-set from Rockwell Canada would suits a portrait, and I found it challenging and wonderful.
