As Memory Fades
The idea was to paint what happens as memory fades.
The blocks represent the memory that somehow can be grasped, almost right but not quite perfect. The shadows around some of the blocks represent the certainty that this was how it was - yet they lead nowhere. The lily represents the vitality of life and the desperate need to hold on to something that was once familiar and loved.

But you don't need to know all that :)
You could just enjoy it for being different :)

Morning Pat! I like the contrast between the straight lines of the blocks and the curves of the flower! And I like the story behind it!
ReplyDeleteMorning, Judy.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to paint what begs to be painted - and its a wonderful feeling to know that someone else appreciates it xx
Hi Pat, for me it's always interesting when an artist tries to represent a thought, a feeling or an idea. As you have done with this painting, this work is the result of an emotion that you put on paper with colors and water. Great job! Hug.
ReplyDeleteYou know we all appreciate your paintings Pat. I love this finished piece and your interpretation. It's beautiful. It's sometimes strange the way our muse takes us in different directions sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Missy.xx
It's nice that you have painted it in a way that is different and unique to you! Great! :0)
ReplyDeleteA lovely painting with a lot of symbolic meaning...not just a painting ! xx
ReplyDeleteSi Pat, es una acuarela para disfrutarla, es muy bella y se sale de lo común. Felicidades y un abrazo¡¡
ReplyDeleteand I can also enjoy it for being beautiful. I love the colors of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteLovely! With or without the explanation!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds well the fading of the memory...good! Arianna
ReplyDeleteI loved it without the explanation, but then when you explained it I loved it even more. Thought provoking and a bit melancholy, but I like it. :)
