Art Every Day
Home from work.
What can I create?
He is cooking tonight....no new recipes.

I sit down next to him.
My foot goes on the coffee table.
He puts his foot on mine,
Atilla sits between us.

Oh look...our feet:

Took a photograph and altered it in Picnik.

Your Feet
When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
and that your sweet weight
rises upon them.
I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.

Pablo Neruda

  1. I like that. I went to that web site Picnik to see what it was all about. Pretty nifty. You did a great job on the feet and the love poetry by Pablo Neruda. Great poetry that you provide us with. By the way, how do you change the background color on you blog? I see that you do that from time to time. It always looks great, I was just wondering.(so I can do it) hehehehe. Have a great Tuesday.

  2. I'm not sure who Attila is, but he or she has the cutest little feet! LOL Great poem to go along with this one, Gemma. Makes me at least try to think of feet in a more positive light! I love the art though! There is just truly a sense of love in it!

  11. Gemma, I love this blog, except for the fact that it never accepts my comments the first time, and then sometimes I forget to look and see if they got accepted and then have to re-click to comment, sometimes losing comments.

    Anyway - I love the composition of this. And you are a GOOD artist - the female foot, the male foot, the child's foot - each looks the way it should look. Very good indeed!
