i read the lulling leafy veils of the weeping willow from memory. it has always been a tree waving about melancholic airs, reminding me of childhood friendships of the innocent kind, those we lose growing up. symbolising emotion, intuition and dreaming {apparantly}, i think i may have fallen in love all over again. carole, loved the theme!

Hey Nadine, it's hard to fall out of love with a willow of any sort. The pussy willow is soft, the willow tree is wonderful, and most women named Willow are cool! LOVE your willow tree's leaves! xo Carole
ReplyDeletede boom des levens ik weet het een beetje ouderwets maar de genitief is leuk
ReplyDeletelove your drawing and what you wrote about it.... makes me swallow in my own memories... Beautiful colours green you used!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and poetic. You need to start putting together a portfolio and getting your illustrations published. Or a gallery show. Serious. They are v much of the moment.
ReplyDeletebeautiful greens I could just dive in! Your willow reminds me of turn of the century needlepoint or folk paintings I've seen-
ReplyDeleteFunny how this theme has led quite a few down memory lane :)
This is a nostalgic tree for me. the loopy leaves, branches for hugging and carefully lined green background, what wonders you share, thank you.
ReplyDeletememory lane!
ReplyDeleteha, me too!!
loving your soft green
the promise of spring to come soon
happy to have you back!!

I am struck by how your wonderful collage could be an illustration of Carole's memory of her willow hideaway - we are all connected, eh?! This has me dreaming, too, Nadine. xxoo, sus
ReplyDeleteYour photomontage is quite nostalgic in weeping and touchingly delicate terms. The imagery and thoughts approach the mark of an exceptional dream that was captured during one of our most precious moments in time.

A precious composition Nadine! I am in love with this tree. With these little girls. Love this to bits. N, xo
ReplyDeleteyour touching words in combination with those little girls, yes melancholic, nostalgic, precious, a green memory coming back alive in a strong vivid way, almost touchable,
ReplyDeletewe were there and here we are, returning, i think we are lucky girls in a way ;) xx
springtime colors... my eyes say: thank you! green is hope and children are beginning... very nice interpretation of the willow.
ReplyDelete(but when I think of you Nadine it takes me directly into the past, to Roubaix... to Gent... :)

ReplyDeleteAhhh, dearest Nadeschda,

It is true, willows do remind us of childhood. . .though maybe as adults we should climb more trees.
ReplyDeleteYour leaves and tree are marvelous. Fresh spring green and a question--do we look ahead or think back on the past?
Very lovely and I like the emroidery style.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your venice pics on flickr you gave my a pleasant time walking (virtually) with you through Venice. I wanted to go there right away!
