The Necklace

Haha thank you! So kind!

Thanks L. I’m waiting patiently for a Hopper ekphrasis from you although his wife’s work was just as good in my opinion. That or an Emin. 😀 Cheers - Gary

Now Gary - I clicked the link to see what the comment was and completely unexpectedly I began smiling! If I were to be helpful I might indeed suggest you set a diary reminder to leave me comments like this 🥰 they are always welcome 🥰 since sick buckets are to hand at this point, I'll let you know why - respecting and enjoying a poets work is quite a joy (this is me now - acknowledging your magnitude in my poetry world - I'm a fan of 5 poets, max! Shh...) when one of those poets strolls over and says things like this it's a five star moment - thank you! 🤩

Thank you Kim 😊 appreciated 😊

Thanks Sotto

Many thanks Alison 😊

Thank you Constance 😊

Hurray! Most kind Daniel - thank you 🥰

Thank you so much Zyrool 😊

Well a visit from yourself is a treat in itself Paul and I love the fact I have followed you in POTD - a lovely coincidence 🥰 your high praise has me beaming 😁

And of course a well deserved POTD ribbon to wear when you mix your magic.

Thank you Akham 😊 I appreciate your thoughtful words 😊

Thank you so much for such a generous statement Brandy - a lovely thing to hear. I'm glad you liked it 😊

Thanks Sam - there was so much to be lost within. I do enjoy considering moments like the one captured in this painting and creating an experience around it, thank you for your kind comment 😊

Thank you Beryl - much appreciated 😊 it is indeed an honour 😊

Oh most definitely the words I like to hear Craig! Once I've entered the painting to write, it becomes difficult to unsee - so it's nice to hear there is a vision that appears from just reading my words and it's a satisfactory one 😊I very much appreciate your vote of confidence, thank you 😊

Oh Mo - "xomo" always gets me as a fantastic signoff! I'm glad it could evoke and be enjoyed - I never know if anyone but me will get them when I write them 😅🥰

It's the Turkish air LG 😁. Hope you're coping with the heat. Its hotter in the uk than here.

Thank you Tom - you are always on your holidays when I get POTD! What's that all about 😅

Ahh look at my visits! I'm spoiled today! The deer in headlights is most definitely a possibility! I've been reminiscing on my thoughts being sought after - it is a great feeling to feel interesting!

Ahh yes! That's the intention - to actually occupy the painting right up until the glance meets the eye of the viewer - thank you for your kind comment 😊

Thank you Valsa - we can never know what something is thinking, often in deep thought we can't always convey our own thoughts. Surface level there is perhaps the empty space waiting for eyes to meet for connection to create meaning. Thank you for your comment 😊

Thank you so much Sara 😊

I hope you could track it down Tania - it's a beautiful artwork and hopefully my words pair well 😊

I appreciate your support David and your ability to get deep into the heart of my poems. There is something quite enticing about being absorbed, both to be part of and to observe in another. I wasn't sure whether this works standalone or not but it does indeed fall into place if the painting is viewed. The ability of Waterhouse to catch the moment just before whatever happens next feels charged with energy. Thank you for your repeat visit 😊

Thanks Anne-Lise - much appreciated 😊

Thank you Ink for popping by with well wishes - yes déjà vu! I'm travelling too at the moment (as you know 😅) I've forgotten which brand of champagne we clink 🥂

Fave ofcourse

Thank you so much Karen - it was an unexpected surprise 😊
