Ooops, spilled the gold powder again....

... but at least it landed on a couple of canvasses this time instead of on the floor!

When two souls have finally found each other there is established between them 

a union which begins on earth & continues forever in heaven

~Victor Hugo~

Ever since I did the Yeats poem, "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", I've had a steady stream of requests for work to be done in the same colour scheme. So last time I set out to paint a few backgrounds in one go. The idea was to be prepared next time someone asked for dark blue & gold.

The thing was, these extra large 'starbursts' of gold magically appeared when I was delicately(?) scattering stardust around!! 

I thought I'd be better off choosing some words that seemed to suit them

 Burial Prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am the thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush

I am the uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in flight.

I am the soft stars at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there; I did not die.

These two are in the shop, but next time, I'll definitely do some spare!
