Reflections in my silent kitchen

Tuesday, 18. November 2008, 21:31:22

Washing dishes and thinking my eyes blind
makes me feel eternity all around
My peaceful mind
wanders without a sound

Thoughts of no importance
take me with you
Standing here while travelling a distance
makes an immediate wish come through

your silent kitchen sends a loud message,
"Nic has a gift to see art where the rest don't!" we thank you for it Nic

It´s a cover for some electrical installations in the wall, supporting the function of the lamp

. I painted it read

What a lovely poem thanks for sharing it!

Nice one. Thinking my eyes blind; nice expression. That's probably what I call "staring holes in the air"?

@ Allan

this is perfect nic.
i always suspected that you were an astral voyager.

i messed with the boat picture on the wall. so i could see it better. one of your paintings?

nopanic # 19. November 2008, 20:44

Thanks a lot Scott

As a teenager I had a few "out of body" experiences..scared the s*** out of me

And I wasn´t even drunk or stoned or anything

The boat pic is painted by one of my fathers friends Mogens Lorentzen. The motive is the canal with boats situated right beside where I work

Nice thoughtful post! I find washing up time to be good thinking time.

nopanic # 20. November 2008, 19:46

Thankyou Adele. So do I. Sometime I almost scrub a hole in a plate while thinking!

SittingFox # 20. November 2008, 19:47

Yes, I guess that is a risk!

Standing here while travelling a distance makes an immediate wish come through

Traveling elsewhere while standing still - I've seen many places in my mind while doing just that.

nopanic # 21. November 2008, 07:55

Yeah Babs. It´s a fine thing to be able to do, isn´t it?!

PainterWoman # 21. November 2008, 12:14

Nic, I love these random shots of ordinary things. I like how the aqua color of the hanging light picks up the colors in the water of the painting.

nopanic # 21. November 2008, 13:38

Glad you like it Pam. My life is changing...I´m getting older. Common things inspires me a lot...the beauty and simplicity of ordinary common things. At this stage I´m finally able to obtain and enjoy it. My inside has become at ease and wonderfully silent

PainterWoman # 21. November 2008, 13:44

Same here Nic. When visiting my daughter in North Dakota, she kept giving me puzzled looks at the the odd things I took pictures of. Can't wait to get them developed to see them.

I forgot to mention the ripples in the reflection mimic the water in the painting too.

nopanic # 21. November 2008, 13:52

I look forward to see your pic from your trip up there. Please give me a hint Pam

It´s the fine thing about showing you guys things..you always see so much more in what´s presented to you
