"They change their sky not their soul who rush across the sea"- Horace
This poem by Willem Hussem crossed my path. It inspired me to the above pieces,
collage and mixed media, each 15 x 20 cm

Poem bu Dutch artist and poet Willem Hussem,
1900-1974, wallpainting in Leiden, The Netherlands

put the blue
of the sea
against the
blue of sky
sky, wipe
some white
of a sail
in it and the
wind starts to blow

Have a nice weekend

Oh what a pity, i never new about this challenge. I like the new name! :)
each of your pieces are wonderful
and the bit of writing about sea sky and white is lovely do consider
thank you for hosting!
thank you horace, that is a magical celestial quote, if ever there was one. i'm stealing it!
i love your inspired sky work, eric. i dig it, i feel it. the colours are so fetching for the sky as we know it... the poem is fun. very water-and-sky-loverly...
thank you for such an anthralling theme. oh that sky! n♥
either i'm being a weirdo or i've forgotten how to work in blogger... it seems to me i am missing my comment... hahahahahah.
now let me think, if ever you haven't received the first one, what did i say again?
right. what i forgot to mention was what stefanie names here; me too i love the envelopes your showed us in the DC announcement. i love the horace quote up above (and i'm stealing it, a second time), and the poem you have added is light, airy and of course filled with sky.
your own work shines accordingly. the colours work fine as a representation of sky, etc. i like the paper tears most, they lend more texture to this theme, they also represent clouds, in my opinion.
i have loved this this theme very much, surprised as i am myself!

Dear Eric,
first of all I wanna thank you for hosting again and then with this theme.
I like your collages from the airy mail very much. And here your collages and poems! Heaven!
My favorite is the one in the center of the triptych.

Lovely peeks into a cerulean sky, and lovely poems. Looks like we both had sky/words inspiration this week. Thank you so much for hosting. I miss the challenge so much when it's not happening. :D
The visual of the poem by Hussem on the brick wall ground is just excellent to say the least. The human heart and human spirit shines in the original writing of this work, and in the care taken to present it on a large scale in a public place, and in the attention taken to notice, observe, and feel the words. It's so awesome...like a permanent installation. Well Eric, your art always gets me. I've always loved that you work small scale. I always get inspired by your art and feel I want to delve into my own experience of doing a small abstract...and I don't even know if your work IS abstract? That's just what I call it...to myself. I love it a lot, anyway. Thanks for hosting. We've all had such fun. See you soon. N, x

Dear Eric,
thank you for this Art Challenge. Your Collages and the Poems make me think new about the SKY.
One more Thing: I laughed out loud when I read your James Bond association to my Russian sky.

Your collages and poems are wonderful! So inspiring, as were your Air Mail envelopes. Thanks for hosting this week's challenge, and for bringing us all together.
