Classic tale told with no single unnecessary word. Wish that was one of my talents, but I enjoy it all the more in others. I love that image of her curves, sailing as she lists...
Ooh, I really loved this. Very evocative, art and poetry mix in your words. It is my first time here and this one hooked me enough to make me want to explore further.
Thanks for coming by and reading. Appreciate what you're saying and that you liked this piece, everyone. I should have noted the picture background but didn't find a place to do it. This is Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, painted in 1942. It hangs in the Chicago Art Institute. Took my blog name from the painting. I'm a night guy and thought it suited.
Solid work. :)
