Ekphrastic April, Day 28: "Shorty"

 


"Shorty" by Ada May Plante [1875-1950]. 



the ability to dream
with eyes wide open

to be transported
great distances from words
best left unheard

is an admirable trait

  1. Love the name of the painting...presumably the subject. Shorty. There's a lot of personality in that alone. Shorty IS day dreaming, isn't he? I wonder what he needs to escape.

    1. It would be interesting to know the backstory, wouldn't it?

  2. Each time, the paintings invite us in, to wonder at it, & for you, to write. It's a thoughtful response to 'being thoughtful'.

    1. Thanks, Linda. I've found a nice variety of pictures to work from this year.
