drawing | key is ...

key is to grab the moment. one night i lay down underneath the skylight and let myself get bewildered by daunting moonlight and the wavy douglas above my skylight window. on my closed eyelids, i caught the flickering movements of the fir, filtering the moonlight in my bedroom. i usually get agitated by this. not this time. i wanted to cease the moment, carpe noctem, so to speak ... and fell asleep. 

the morning afterwards, commuting into the city, i sketched that fluttering motion as i remembered it best. i got really wrapped up in the action, i love scribbling haphazardly! walking into work straight afterwards, i hit the volume button on my headphones. it all came together, a natural high... veronica's key moments this weekend.

  1. Oh, darling Nadeschda, your words, your drawing... such poetry. Just have kept an eye on the moon through a birk tree here (12 hours later I will arrive countryside finally... I remember some firs there) and la luna will arrived her red fullness. Carpe noctem... you on my mind.

  4. you did grab the moment dear Nadine, great key to a natural high,
    my 'carpe diem' was graced with wind sonatas too lately, sometimes i did want to turn the volume a little lower ;)
    wishing you sunny easter days x

  6. So lovely! We have the huge Douglas firs here too and last night, I couldn't roll the blinds all the way up because of that beautiful moon out there and slept under the moonlight myself! We're two of a kind! X
