I took those photographs today.

A few bands of snow fell, but the snow had an odd consistency to it. The snow looked like small, round, Styrofoam beads / small pebble snow.

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care

--

And now you won't love me for a second time
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better

"White Space" - Postcard

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "White Space".

Some pale yellow crept into this, despite me trying to make it pale white. Yellow, the color of sunshine, seems to be a recurring, subconscious theme in my artwork lately.

-----

Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart

And I never saw the writing that was on the wall
That you were crying

And the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognized the girl you are today

When your world's crashing down
And you can't bear the thought

When the world's crashing down
And you can not bear the cross

'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won

I could have told you
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you

I took that photograph looking out of the front window. The heavy wet snow is clinging to all of the trees, and this storm isn't anywhere near done yet. I hope the electricity doesn't go off.

"Magic Keys Book" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Keys".

I went to the beat of my own drummer on this. One thing led to another, and I used two keys as metal hardware hinges for a book. A third key is the "magic key" on the cover. The background had a honeycomb pattern, so I added a few bees to complete this piece.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.36
