I thought at first that creating something based on the prompt of 'Hope' would be really difficult. Until that is I googled 'hope quotes' and suddenly I was awash with inspiration. I'd like to thank Oscar Wilde, Albert Einstein and Emily Dickenson for their posthumous help this week. Their words transcended the centuries to bring art alive on a rainy August in 2010.
I wonder if anyone will ever quote me? How does one get to be quotable in the first place? What happens if you impart the choicest prose yet no one writes it down for posterity.
I hope that someone captures my words of wisdom... should I ever say any...
Here's Em's, Oscar's and Albie's. I chose to work on Emily's this week, but Oscar is calling too...
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”

“Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.”

Mixed media. Acrylic canvas paper, collaged bits and bobs, acrylics, prismacolours, charcoal pencil, glittery sparkles, sequin negatives and ... a dash of hope ...
I thought I'd post a pic of work in progress too.
