I tried to think of a suitable
"Monday Poem" -
all I could think of were
those vibrant colours
of the Golden Hour
I had walked through
on that Friday evening,
and finally, looking at this
unusual cup and saucer set
my after-dinner coffee
had been served in,
I thought of Mark Rothko's "No. 12" -
a painting titled "Red and Yellow" -
and one with the colours Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green -
the title of which I don't remember.
The vibrancy of those colours
resonate so well
with those that I had encountered
that evening.
Alas, no poem would volunteer,
so I opted for a video instead,
here ->Mark Rothko,

Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis whole post along with the link you added is art in it's entirety. I could even smell the sunshine bouncing off the leaves! Another beautiful job Merisi!
ReplyDeletethese pictures are pure art!
ReplyDeleteMerisi - what an exquisite post. The colors & shapes of the 1st photo are so comforting and inviting.
ReplyDeleteThe light in these photos really glows. What beautiful photos these are, Merisi.
ReplyDelete(I was in Washington this weekend, and the lighting was very grey, air moist and chilly, but I did manage to see a cherry tree or two, and the Gauguin exhibit.)
Best wishes.
One day I will have a coffee with Merisi in Diglas. One day.
ReplyDeleteMy lovely lemon grass tea went so well with this! Thanks for enhancing the flavor!

What wonderful images to greet us on this foggy morning here in NC. Thanks, Merisi! It's supposed to burn off and get very warm, but until that happens, it's gray, so your colors are most welcome.
ReplyDeletePerfect harmony... Colors of acid drops... miam !
ReplyDeleteBravo Merisi.

Wow - simple but so intriguing how the colors in the saucer and cup reminded you (so perfectly too!) of Rothko's pantings. This reminds me of how my artist mom 'sees / thinks'. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures !!!

I love the plane tree image! And all the tortes in the next post have me drooling. But what I really want is a comfy chair covered in raspberry velvet.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors of the top photo contrasting with the shiny reflective spoon. It's funky and modern, something I could see someone hanging over a sofa. Great shot!
