#10 stay for a while...

it took so long to get here,

why not stay for a while

turn upside down

try a new style

tissue paper and cellophane collage by suzi poland

a slight shift of colour,

adding a hue,

after all where you’re from,

not everything is blue.

gesso and acrylic humpback whale by suzi poland

try simplifying things,
paring it back

blocking in colours
outlining in black

gouache and graphite dolphins by suzi poland

grab one more sheet of paper

just before you're done

really start playing

do something for fun

gesso, gouache, acrylic and ink mermaid by suzi poland

there's so much down here,

so many ways

now that you're here,

you could stay here for days

but

tomorrow we'll leave

it's time, we have to go

imagine if you'd never come

what you'd never know

please continue on to #11 heading back to shore, the next post in my "winter's blog tale" or back to #9 sinking not drowning or read the postscript with all the links.
