Rain's Thursday Art Date - Light and Dark

Hi Everybody!

The corona crisis is getting worse from day to day, and so many people just haven't realised how serious the situation is. I hope they will soon come to their senses and start behaving  sensibly.

Rain's theme today is one that I like - light and dark. I spend a lot of time watching the skies, clouds, sunrise, sunset, stars, moon etc. My apartment faces east, so I get to see the sunrise everyday. Even if it wakes me early in summer, I just love it. When the sun has risen, the world is back in the light and I feel well.

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

Here are some of the pieces I made for this theme in past months:

The figure I used is called the Nightwatchman, and is on an ancient house in the little town of Kettwig on a steep street leading downwards.  I digitally cut him out to use in my art:

This tag was a photo taken at the Sea of Galilee:

The quote used here is from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:

An altered photo of street corner in East London:

The moon is one of my great loves in life:

And of course, I love being woken by the sunrise each day:

Here the sun looks like a glowing heart:

I saw this sunset from the window of my hospital room after I got my new knee:

Colourful shadows in the basilica:

And some of my fave quotes:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.    Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.      Martin Luther.King

  

  We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ...

Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.   Anne Frank

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.   Og Mandino

So, I think that was enough for today.

Have a great day, take care, stay safe.

And thanks a lot for coming by!
