illegitimate genius . . . i your kneeling figure embossed with monastery mirror am draped for your study. chiaroscuro, your play of dark vs. light. Dearest Tuscany, Does your proficiency suffice when deciphering your son? Verrocchio had laid his brush he understood such rusted knots read backwards through looking glass before they needed to be studied. St. Jerome speaks, beating his breast to the sympathies of a lion while John the Baptist looks on emasculate. The lap of Madonna is burdened a geometric precision on rocks the only grace an angel's gaze. Gesso awash in elegy. ~~~ Gallery chiaroscuro |

When research begets poetry, the world hangs a frame over the sensation. Beautiful work, little one. |

"Verrocchio had laid his brush he understood such rusted knots read backwards through looking glass before they needed to be studied." Aye, all reflections read backwards in the looking glass (eye) of the beholder. Though they present with the reality of illusion, nonetheless they are reflections of reality. The knots continue........... Excellent write, Sue. Billy 8) "Only the dead, have seen the end of war." Plato |

You guys are so good to me, what can I say but thank you for understanding my mad ramblings? And you see my knots! *hiding* I tried to take five or so of da Vinci's work and his life and tumble them into the lap of the virgin. There is so much, is hard to write of one thing. You can see his orginal at the Louvre: http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/l/leonardo/02/2virg_p.jpg Thanks guys, truly. |

Having been tumbled in the laps of a few virgins, I agree that it is a lot of work. *grin* |

This is great Suzie, but then again you can whip out the neatest things from a good "think."  |

I had a reply, then made the mistake of raiding icebox. LOL 3D imagery...gentle searching wings embedded deeply within the curves of life ~she laps up Life~ with a heart gessoed, paletted and you know the heart of light and dark |

Like a trip through a gallery, one can take away from this an assortment of emotion Which, in no way takes away from this |

I'm enjoying this feast that you write, and smiling here-- well, we'll talk later. I admired the construction of this knot very much. Sometimes it is the simplest maneuvers that make for the tightest bind. |
