Girl in the Cold

 

 

Author's Note

Poetry is new to me, but I'm a little more comfortable with visual art. I thought I'd try combining them into little snapshots.

[John the Baptist]

Once more a great illustration. The beauty of this poem is its ability to infer, making us use our imaginations. There seems to be (to me) an accusatory hint in the girl's expression. It's as though she is mulling over the addressee's look of having secrets on his breath. He has been drinking (I'm assuming it's a male.), which may mean he's been with someone else. The night has come early, all right, for this relationship. She's taking a walk, and don't expect her back anytime soon.

reminds me of a Christmas Eve with an ex....it was very cold, and not just outside...
frost is not always on the ground and frosting is not always on the cake.

The poem made me think of a couple fighting after a holiday meal with family. I think the secrets are small things such as the way they really felt, or like they're tired of pretending in front of others but won't say they're unhappy. I think this relationship has loads of resentment and they're used to nights like this >.>

The image! There is so much in her face! I see her as angry and bored of being angry. Just numb and distant and tired of talking about it. She's very beautiful and the colors are amazing. I LOVE these combined paintings and poems.
