To Call up the Shades

İle

One candle is enough. Its gentle light
will be more suitable, will be more gracious
when the Shades arrive, the Shades of Love.

One candle is enough. Tonight the room
should not have too much light. In deep reverie,
all receptiveness, and with the gentle light
-in this deep reverie I will form visions
to call up the Shades, the Shades of Love.

    Thank you John, a very lovely city Annecy, French people call it “la venise des alpes” like you 🙂

    Reminds me of Venezia but in a gentler incarnation…very lovely Ayse…and yes, the “shades of love” are very present…

    I prefer observing and seeing living there before painting and to have some souvenir….but sometimes a dream ı wish to be there like my Venice painting or sometimes a wonderful photo inspires me…is that enough 🙂 ?

    I didn’t ask last time. Even though you are painting from a picture have you been?

    There are times when I can appreciate this kind of art so much more than viewing an actual photo of a place. This is one of those times. Really like the colors. Very nice.
