And so it is Friday and also March 1st. At last February is behind us, we are nearly out of the deep, dark wood and we really can start anticipating spring. But before we do here is my last contribution to Older Mum in a Muddle’s seasonal linky celebrating winter. I went off trawling the internet for images of winter and this is what I found.
Alegoria del Invierno, Remedios Varo, 1948
Allegory of Winter. Spiky, barren and cold with all life and colour held in beautiful suspended animation. We are all just waiting for spring now.
Moonlight in a Forest. Winter, Arkhip Kuindzhi, 1908
I was so struck by the cold beauty of this image. Can you hear the still wintery silence? All sound muted under a blanket of snow. Freezing by the light of the moon. Look at the light. I know that I must sound ridiculous, as I suspect all art is about understanding light… or something.
Thanks Older Mum for hosting #OneWeek. It has (re)connected me with other bloggers at a time when most of us feel like hibernating. As ever it has sent me out in search of the new and has got my imagination going. You can quite see how I might have whiled away the long cold nights on Pinterest this winter can’t you? If I was into that kind of thing of course…
