Language, language everywhere. But not a thought to think.
That’s where I find myself today, folks.
No words.

Isn’t it amazing how much we can convey in so few words? This is a great example of less really being more. I salute you!

It’s OK to be speechless. Your art speaks volumes, anyway! 🙂

Thank you, dear Dana! I’m relieved to hear it speaks, and if it speaks “volumes,” then that’s way cool!

Sometimes words are not needed to express what is being felt or what was felt.

This is neat, Kathy, although it took me a full minute to realize I was looking at a cat…sorry, I’m a little slow…

You are FAR from slow, Wendy! I can see how you could overlook the cat, the mixed media version of not seeing the forest for the trees. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks——————

That reminds me of the “We Are Siamese” cats in Lady & The Tramp (otherwise known as the Greatest Disney Movie Ever).

Okay–sorry to admit, Mark, but I don’t think I’ve seen Lady and the Tramp! Guess I better take a look!

Love the artwork Kathy. I have to ask…Did you plan the use of NIMH in your collage or did it just happen that way? I love the mixed media!
Sometimes when I am at loss for words I become like the blind person that is more observant through all their other senses.

Thanks, Jean! Actually, I did intend to use the NIMH here. But I certainly understand what you mean by somehow seeing better in the dark–so true! I so appreciate your taking the time ro read and comment. Hope you’ll come back!

But when you speak many languages, letters are not the only one of significance. Consider your many artistic languages a gift. Another beautiful, provoking piece of art.

Yes, Deanna, I love the idea of art being a language. That’s so true! Glad you apprecreciate this piece————–

As someone who uses images more than words, I know that they (images) do sometimes speak louder than words. Your art, to me, certainly does that. I enjoy your words as well, and have to agree with a previous comment about how you speak many languages. 🙂
I already knew what NIMH is, partly from my husband’s work, mostly from the animated film (“The Secret of NIMH”).

How interesting, Robin. I’ve never seen the film–sounds fascinating. What does your husband do? Take care, my friend————–

He’s a scientist, Kathy. He studies addiction.
The film is cute. It’s been a long time since I saw it and that is pretty much all I remember about it other than the mice breaking into NIMH.

How funny, Jane! Cat clearly did have my tongue. (You know, I wonder where that expression comes from.) And I love the idea of sitting in silence, waiting for the words to come. Happy Easter to you, Jane!
