Poppy

Do you also have a couple of unfinished paintings stored somewhere?
Yesterday I found this one in my basement
and I finsihed it.

I compare the unfinished painting in photo 2 to the unfinished life of my friend
STEVE LANGFORD
who died far too early (47) a week ago.
I dedicate the Haiku to him and his family

I think this music fits totally my haiku.

Coqulicot are among my favorite flowers. Your closeup rivals Georgia O'Keefe in its sensuality and pure color. It is fun to retrieve a work and complete it, although our tastes and sensibilities change with time.

Artist Reply: Thanks for your fine comment David!

Nira Dabush 16 Dec 2009

This is FANTASTIC, Olga... wonderful that you finished it. I usually finish an artwork, and then start a new. Wonderful music.. Who is Steve ?..

Artist Reply: Steve is a very good old friend of ours of 20 years ago. We all lived in Germany at the time, where we met. We were all expats and had no friends nor family there. So we all stayed together and we had so much fun with the group. We moved to the States, he moved with his German wife to England. We lost contact for a while but picked it up again via email and FB. It teaches you never to postpone your friendship, to delay a friendly word with each other, and always to keep up with your friends. Thanks for asking Nira.... Love and light, Olga
