Artist At Work October 1, 2012

A blank slate, neither
white nor black, deep indigo
blue of twilight hue
Deepening still, stars
appear with light winks, twinkling
across the night sky
Painted canvas stretched
horizon to horizon
Star artist at work
Aah . . . that’s better!

Wow, those colours are surreal! The star looks enormous.
It’s a GIANT SUPER NOVA!
Or a planet.
Most likely, Jupiter.
Or Saturn.
But possibly Mars or Venus.
What?
Don’t look at me like that!
I’m an artist . . . not an astronomer.
I’ll leave the classification to others . . . while I enjoy gazing at the night sky in blissful ignorance. 😯
BFF says it’s . . . la bella luna! 😀
Shhhhh! It works much better as a star!
I agree! Mum’s the word!
So serene!
Thanks, Irene . . . stars reign supreme.
Your words with the photos are so lovely. Thanks Nancy.
Sidey’s themes are always a treat . . . especially when stargazing is involved!
Beautiful, Nancy.
Thanks, Don. The night sky inspires.
Really beautiful.
Thanks, Christine. Glad you enjoyed.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Suzi. I must say that just looking at this post makes me feel “at peace.” _/!\_
How beautiful! I can stare at a sky like that for hours. They only last a little while, though. What a treat that you were there to notice!
Doing this post reminded me that we are overdue for watching a sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.
Maybe we’ll join the Drum Circle this Friday as they “keep time” with the setting sun.
That IS better. Lovely, Nancy. Those water vistas are something on a sunset or sunrise.
Watching the sun rise or set over an expanse of water never grows old.
Oh, the colours….enough to make one jump on the next plane out there…
Someday, Kate! You can watch the sunrise over the Atlantic with Andra and then head a bit farther south to watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico with ME! 😎
Absolutely beautiful Nancy!
Thanks, Barb. Nothing like a sky at evening tide. 🙂
What an enchanting sky — beautiful.
Thanks, klrs. We’ve been having some lovely sunsets lately . . . full of pinks and purples. Delightful.
Love those pictures. Sunsets on water are so pretty.
A calm reflective surface to expand the sun’s dying rays.
you have stunning views, what an evening sky!
Thanks for a stellar theme, Sidey! It brought to mind Enya’s . . . “Paint the Sky with Stars.”
ah yes, another lovely song
Very very nice Nancy! Your sky reflected on the water is lovely.
Still waters expand the beauty of the reflected sunset/sunrise.
Absolutely breath taking!
Peace of the silent waters . . . aah!
Beautiful photos and words – a great way to end the day looking at that sky!
Sunrise and sunset are the perfect “bookends” to a busy day. 😎
Beautiful, Nancy!
🙂
Thanks, SIG!
Lovely pictures! We don’t get beautiful sunsets here very often. It’s usually the cliched sunset over the ocean, with no spectacular colors. I get to see nice sunrises from my house, especially in the winter (http://milkapejovic.com/2012/09/27/2013-calendar-first-pick-january-sunrise-photo/).
We’ve enjoyed some awe-inspiring sunsets over the years . . . but, if I go to the beach specifically to watch the sun set, the colors are not usually jaw-dropping.
I think it’s Murphy’s Law.
haha, you’re probably right!
Damn Murphy!
Those are stunning, Nancy!
Sunsets soothe . . . a delightful pause at the end of the day. 😎
