And my sister also loves the cool and calm Fed (but I prefer Rafa's earthy passion!) (and I wonder what that says about me??!!?) Enjoy Wimbledon (hard to believe it's here again!)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-90616957979267811392011-06-08T15:14:05.895+02:002011-06-08T15:14:05.895+02:00Thank you for that interview Judy.

I love the blended symbolism behind the figures and find the image even more interesting.<br /><br />And yes, the French Open was thrilling right? I'm always happy for Rafa but sad when he beats Federer. I have a blind spot where both Roger Federer and Venus Williams are concerned, lol. I root for many, many players (especially Rafa) except when they're playing either Roger or Venus. Oh well, on to Wimbledon!<br /><br />*waves*Pamala Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823051545160002135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-64911157631878882982011-05-28T09:26:07.164+02:002011-05-28T09:26:07.164+02:00Hi Judy ..

I’ve been quiet because I’ve been ...Hello everyone! I’ve been quiet because I’ve been working on my book trailer (SQUEEE!) and I’m thrilled with it! I’ll post it on the blog on Monday (with some Amazon giveaways!) <br /><br />Now, onto your always lovely comments:<br /><br />JUDITH: I thought, with your spiritual background and your Dad’s legacy, you’d find the interview interesting.<br /><br />BISH: I love sharing this painting and what it means – it’s always such a good talking point!<br /><br />DAMARIA: I knew I liked the painting when I first saw it; but once Wenkidu has explained it to me, I understood it better too! <br /><br />HELEN: These blog images and cover don’t really do painting justice: the colours are more vibrant, the blue a rich indigo and all the little fascinating animals bring it alive, and there’s also lines of Wenkidu’s poetry written amongst the background images). Husband and I love to hear Wenkidu talk about his work – it’s so fascinating! <br /><br />ANITA: Thanks, it is a beautiful painting. Another of my favourites by Wenkidu is called “Turn Turn the Wind and the Rain” The flautist has the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen, and yet the painting is all about as one world ends another begins – such a positive image!<br /><br />MARILYN: It’s an absolute pleasure! And as far as the connection between the painting and the cover goes, from the time I wrote the first word, I knew this was the cover I wanted for my story, that’s how closely they’re related in my mind (although I don’t think my story is as profound as Wenkidu’s art; it’s much “smaller” in scope!<br /><br />Well, I still need to catch up on visiting everyone’s blogs, but as my big sister left to return to her UK home today (sob sob) I’m now 100% in charge of the parents, and my blogging time will be even more limited. I may be a bit slow in my return visits, but I’ll get there as soon as I can!Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-73540059126071373822011-04-09T03:53:56.920+02:002011-04-09T03:53:56.920+02:00Wow.

I truly appreciated learning more about the images, symbols and philosophies that went into the creation of this beautiful painting.<br />Thank you both for sharing!!<br />And Judy, YES, I do think the cover reflects that age-old question about man's relationship to the unknown.
