This is another illustration that I'm contributing to Hanna Filo's self-published poetry book. It's inspired by her poem Tempo Loro (Their Time). Specifically, it refers to the line tocca una clessidra gocciolante (touches an hourglass dripping).
Hello my friend I haven't seen you in a while,and as usual,you have posted another spectacular drawing.Twisted and tortured yet colorful and fantastic.I love them all.Fantastic keep up the beautiful work as well as all your other projects.Take care. Gregorio
I'm glad to see I was the first to post a comment on yet another fine piece of work.
Yes! So, He personifies the sundial which is an instrument that indicates the time of day by means of the position, on a graduated plate or surface, of the shadow of the gnomon as it is cast by the sun /timekeeper/ She is hourglass... Their two catch up /join,touch/ the zenith... perpetuity, eternity, infinity.. Their Time.. Magnifico Francis! here is this poem ;)italiano
@Gregorio Thanks so much! "Twisted and tortured yet colorful and fantastic" ... I love that description of my drawings. I might have to use that as a tag line :).
@Hanna I surprised myself with this one ... it seems to tell a story, although that wasn't what I set out to accomplish.
@Jena I'm very partial to blue, but I'm also trying to expand the color palette I'm using. I'm glad you like it :).
@Marsha I'm glad for the visit and the very kind comment. I hope to explore more of your writing soon.
@Ferox Thanks ... I was taken with that sense of the mystical also. I can't explain exactly what any of it means, but I like the way it flows :).

This is great Francis, you're good with shades of blue, Well blended and well proportional...I love it.
I scrolled thru your illustrations. They are lovely.
I find this one particularly mystical. Well done.

It makes me think of something very female. My brother would roll his eyes if I said anything like it out loud. :)
I love your abstract art! I gave your blog an award :) Come pick it up at http://kavitameanspoetryinhindi.blogspot.com/2008/10/and-winners-are.html
@Laura No rolling of the eyes from me ... I intended it to be very feminine, so that's good to know the drawing conveyed that.
@Kavita Thanks for the award! I'll post it soon.
Hello Francis,
I was away for almost 5 months and it is taking me forever to get caught up with everyone.
I still haven't made it over to visit Hanna.
I like this drawing very much. It is twisted as stated but it has a delicacy about it.
Excellent as always!!:-))
Thanks Jackie ... I'm glad to see you're back!
