The way you have captured a sense of light everywhere ~ glistening on the grapes, glancing off the leaves, the cloth & the lip of the plant pot. And I love the slightly secretive ruby red bottle.
I want to sneak a peek inside the book but suspect it might be a journal...
The second picture makes me feel slightly sad ~ in a good way ~ why do the footsteps suddenly diverge? Are the walkers lovers who have argued? Is this a more poignant 'goodbye?' Or is each person deciding it is their own quest they must pursue. (And now you are going to tell me it's just that one of them forget something & must go back...)
But the shadows cast by the trees seem to go in slightly different ways on either side of each set of footprints suggesting a magical dimension ~ is this significant?
You paint a story ~ several possibilities ~ I am intrigued.
Thank you for taking the time to write so much. The bits about the bottle and the book please me - I shall think of them that way from now on.
Yes, the second one is a goodbye. The shadows aren't meant to mean anything, it's just perspective (possibly bad) - parallel lines converging and all. But that's in my head; if they do something else for you, go with it.
Both works are very interesting (you have talent) and I find them philosophically different. The first one is concrete and I particularly like the geometric quality in it. The second is much less realistic and reminded me of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. I think it is a metaphysical painting.
How clever of you! I love that poem. And can only ever recall the last verse, which I feel is perfect in terms of A's painting...
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages & ages hence, Two roads diverged in a wood, & I ~ I took the one less traveled, And that has made all the difference.

These are beautiful... really lovely.

I prefer to think the shadows diverged on purpose! The more I look at the picture, the more I see choice.

The second on is based on a picture that came spontaneously into my head and I painted a few days later, so I can't be sure what all is in it! :)
