Las manos de mis niñas son suaves como la ceda,son calidas y frescas. Las manos de mis niñas son frágiles y fuertes. Son cunas de sueños, es rocio que trae el viento. Las manos de mis niñas las comparó a las caricias de mi madre al beso de mi padre. En las manos de mis niñas duermen mis ilusiones y nacen flores de Esperanza cuándo las beso, es como si tocara el cielo. En las manos de mis niñas estan los futuros cielos que pintaran estrellas en el firmamento. Y las huellas que dejaran por cada transitar. Me imagino las aventuras que tendrán. En las manos estaran marcadas sus metas como quien traza un mapa buscando un tesoro. Las manos de mis niñas duermen y sueñan.mientras yo las observó y sueño despierta.

Jeff Rowland, 1964 | Romantic painter of Rain | VideoArt

Imagen
Jeff Rowland🎨's ideas and inspirations: 'I have always been fascinated in two areas of art; the implicit meaning and the inspiration. I was inspired to paint a rain soaked street through films I saw at the cinema.I am always inspired to experience what I am about to paint. I remember Billy Connolly saying that he hated songs about Scotland that were written by men in London: men who had never even seen the Highlands. In other words, if you are going to do something creative, get to the very heart of it first'. ... Read more .. » http://dlvr.it/Rgq9YQ

Edgar Degas | Sculpture

Imagen
Degas’ sculpture stands outside the mainstream of nineteenth-century French sculpture. He was never interested in creating public monuments, and, with one exception, neither did he display his sculpture publicly. The exception was "The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer".It was shown in the sixth Impressionist exhibition held in Paris in 1881, but the work has little to do with Impressionism. Modeled in wax and wearing a real bodice, stockings, shoes, tulle skirt, and horsehair wig with a satin ribbon, the figure astonished Degas’ contemporaries, not only for its unorthodox use of materials, but also and above all for its realism, judged brutish by some. The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer was not seen again publicly until April 1920. ... Read more .. » http://dlvr.it/RggvlD

el tiempo es un enemigo mío Por qué se asoma a mí ventana con su mirada déspota y descarada. Es acaso esta, mí vida un cuento de terror. Por que siento que la vida me golpea cada vez que puede. Cada recuerdo, cada silencio me pesa y se hace tan profunda la herida que me niego a mí misma a llorar, me niego a caer en el lugar que una vez cai. Me niego a no dar la batalla aunque tenga kilómetros de desventaja. Es acaso esto un boomerang. Me siento con millones de preguntas en mí cabeza. estoy con los pies atado. anhelando correr sin saber a dónde. Quisiera ir trás los abrazos de un presenté que se niega a ser pasado. Deseando voltear mí vida y convertirla en lo que fue antes de hoy. Queriendo despertar con un mañana dónde ya no tenga que preocuparme ni preguntarme si es tarde, si todo va a salir bien. Deseo volver a lo que fue y quedarme hay un rato, Amando y Amandome Hace días fui al mar y me encontré con un mar bravío, sentí nostalgia de no bañ...
