a theme with that many possibilities it made my imagination run wild and i didn't really knew what to pick 'till, by chance, i heard this song, Midnight Oil's 'where do we sleep when our beds are burning'.
I decided to try and do the portayal of a song,
this song, with it's clear message and compelling beat, a chorus that always made me dance and sing along.
please go to Ariane's 'Rose' for more
abbild/ portrayal
have a nice weekeend
and yet keep dancing now and again

i feel for the figure that's standing off, and has a lot of healing meaning, i think.
ReplyDeletei say this, because i've had a few consecutive nightmares, like scary ones. i need something/someone which can hold me together.. i find it here
and yes.. oh boy. burning bed. quite accurate...
[sigh]
i do believe in coincidence and i thank thee.

Renilde, this is a fascinating painting and reminds me of Freida Kahlo's bed paintings for some reason. Quiet an interesting portrayal of a song i quite like, too. Very danceable! -sus
ReplyDeletei love this, i love how you came up with it and now i can hear that song in my mind, dancing together with you!!
ReplyDeletethank you dear renilde! x♥x julia
Dear renilde your painting draws me right back at the time I spent in Australia hearing this song - love your aboriginal interpretation!

Wow I haven't thought about that song in a long time! and your "portrayal" of it really gives it new meaning for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll echo Nadine's sentiments about the figure off to the side- I am really drawn to that as well.
I'll have to come back and look at this some more :)
Dear Renilde,
ReplyDeleteI really impressed by your portrayal of that song. And I like the story of finding very much...
These arcane dashed line ending or beginning at the smaller figure... with bandaged eyes... wow, a great painting! Thank you very much!
Love
x Ariane.
cooler song.
ReplyDeletelove your interpretation.
la..la..la.. (have the song in my ears)

Claps and squeals over here Renilde!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite songs and I have seen Midnight Oil perform it live on several occasions in my Uni days.
Im loving the connections that you have made through your painting a fantastic use of imagery that speaks the message clearly. Really is very powerful you are a masterful storyteller Renilde.
Have a fantastic week
