Description The True Knowledge

Thou knowest all; I seek in vain
What lands to till or sow with seed -
The land is black with briar and weed,
Nor cares for falling tears or rain.

Thou knowest all; I sit and wait
With blinded eyes and hands that fail,
Till the last lifting of the veil
And the first opening of the gate.

Thou knowest all; I cannot see.
I trust I shall not live in vain,
I know that we shall meet again
In some divine eternity.

Oscar Wilde

I read this poem years after painting, but it seemed so fitting to the moment and the pic... it was a gloomy day

I really love how you have done the water in this painting! you can really feel the light reflecting off of it The trees are also pretty nice
I would say probably a little more detail in the foreground would make this painting perfect It looks just a bit flat

Well, thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean about the ground but I wanted it to feel pretty humid and then that was what I could do =.

Your welcome I like going around and commenting
It's still well done don't worry I just felt like moss or something could cover it or something?

You're such a skilled beast! It's really amazing, I sometimes do *try* to paint and draw, but it's too frustrating to me. Btw I see you usually use oil pains, why these? I don't see many people now using oils.

artedafefe In reply to SeaWhisper [2010-06-09 23:43:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh, thanks! XD
Did you ever took classes?
I don't "know" why I use oils. I started learning with oil paint and I learned to like it. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to painting and oil allows me to do a bit at a time, so that helps. But I intend to free space from college (it takes all day) and try other media ^^ I love watercolours!

SeaWhisper In reply to artedafefe [2010-06-11 10:20:30 +0000 UTC]

No, I haven't took classes. I just sometimes *try* something. I even put some works on dA, but it's rather for fun then anything else. I love watercolours too, and oil pastels very much.
