The Concert


moonlight and a Parisian concert ~ floating along the Seine, inert

primary colors on canvas spilled ~ artist's perspective was fulfilled

Thank you, Paula. I've added a second Monoku after checking with the sponsor. Chagall's work warrants a second look... some more 'creative' than others.

Lin I've got to say I find the image in the painting quite bizarre but i guess that's 'modern ' art for you, I do like your interpretation in so few words! lol:-) hugs jan xx

I think Eloise could paint as Chagall did. She doesn't always paint her people standing on the ground. I should show her some of his paintings. Thanks for the comments, chick.

A dreamlike scape you paint for us here Lin, and have written a fantastic monoku bringing the (inert) concert to life, I’ve wanted to do just that at some of the concerts I’ve been too in the past! Cheers David

Thanks, David. Sometimes we struggle for the right thought, correct word to fit what we are trying to say, and sometimes they just float along on their own. That kind of concert hurts the ears. lol

Thank you, Tom. His paintings are a bit off kilter so I appreciate them with a Picasso eye.
