Separation

 

Thick,  black clouds eloped to mock my shattered frame

They perched in our tree when I sought your face

When words failed me their wind pronounced your name

The letters fell and vanished with no trace.

[SleeplessVolcano]

thank you...

His paintings says so much......now I just need to find that gold mine (or two) in order to afford one...;P (gold mine sounds so much better than oil well, right? :P)

Dont say oil .... or barrels .... lol triggers work for me lol .... I want to know about this painter. Is he an expressionist ...... How did you find it

[SleeplessVolcano]

Edvard Munch probably shot up in fame when "The Scream" reached $ 119 million on auction....his work are often labelled psychological, because it is not only visual, but also portrays deep emotion. Sometimes I google a feeling I have, or just randomly seek out an expressive painting and usually the words then rush onto the page......have a look at "The Scream".....it can be disturbing when you discover the actual event it portrays.......

I know him. I was just pulling your leg. But I don't know the story behind the scream. I will and get back to you with more stuff to fiddle with
