A flight in air, my spirit free,
roaming skies, my love you'll be.
Colourful, in splash of ink,
deep in your heart, my soul will sink.

A watching eye, protectively,
in flight of love, I can be me.
Down hill to top, our lifes progress,
with no more secrets to confess.

When life will end, I'll roam the air,
my spirit free in loving care.
I'm a raptor, but dove by heart,
knocked over smoothly by your art.




Aquarelle made by my husband.


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Titia~
Not only is Henk's Aquarelle totally gorgeous ...
your words give him the easel on which to mount it~

*Huglets*
~*Marge*~

Just putting this here so that everyone will know that Henk's Aquarelle is much more complex than a paint-by-number kit~

Aquarelle
1. a watercolor.  
2. Printing. a printed picture that has been colored manually by applying watercolor through stencils, each color requiring a different stencil


~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~

Thank you Marge. No preprint for this art work, he drew the bird and gave him some colour. An aquarelle is made by using layers of watercolour, starting with the lighter colours and working through towards the darker colours. One has to use special paper that will absorb the colour, but not too fast.

WOW!  I would buy that picture Titia!  It is gorgeous and Marge is right - your words supplied the easel to display it perfectly.   am going off now to research this as it is similar to the art Nan's daughter does, and I just loved it too.  Is there a place you can show more he has done?  Beautiful!

"my spirit free in loving care."

A lovely tribute to your husband's Aquarelle, as well as an inspiring read.

Enjoyed!
