Illustration Friday - Match
This that would greet -- an hour ago --
Is quaintest Distance -- now --
Had it a Guest from Paradise --
Nor glow, would it, nor bow --
Had it a notice from the Noon
Nor beam would it nor warm --
Match me the Silver Reticence --
Match me the Solid Calm --
-Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

Good choice of Text and painting.
They realy suit each other.
Very nice piece, really lovely.
Lovely!!
Wow wow wow and double triple wow.
I am sooooo in love with this painting I can't even tell you.
I wish I could look at it every day.
I am crazy about landscapes with clouds and trees and somehow you have made it extraordinary.
Terrific job!
Carla, I love this painting. It's so rich in colour and texture. You have demostrated another side of your artistic talent.
By the way, is that some purple flower in the foreground? Can't tell in this size.
Excellent composition. Also, lovely change on your header:)
Beautiful work!
A quiet place. I love a painting with an old country road vanishing into the horizon. Just a bit of the farmhouse to see-sweet. Great tree and shadowing as well.
The poem is so right for this piece, beautiful!
The field looks and feels like it is swaying in the breeze as if autumn is around the corner.
the colors are luscious and painting a path is a sign of welcome. Very inviting. I am so pleased to see this Carla!
Will you be painting more like this?
beautiful and charming painting!! Would love to see more of your painting!! Great work!
'Solid calm' is right! Lovely...
so different from what I have gotten used to seeing… a beautiful change of pace… and what a lovely pace miss emily has set with he words…
wow, beautiful landscape..
simply awesome. nice image for the theme.
Lovely, peaceful pastoral scene.
This is gorgeous, Carla!
Wow, Carla, this should be hanging in a museum! Your landscapes are so inviting, and this one is no exception. I wonder ~ were you plein air painting or is this from memory or a photograph? It's just gorgeous and I would love to see more like this!!
wonderful Carla. :-) Love the poem too. And isn't it about time for the tattoo lady to show up again??
So soft!
I'm gonna nap in your field, right under that tree.
Smooch,

Beautiful painting and matching poem!
This is so pretty. I love the colors and wish I could somehow be there!
This is beautiful, such rich colours. I was just lamenting how I can't seem to do landscapes ... this is an inspiration.
Gorgeous rich and luminous! Wow Carla! The red in the bark is just so beautiful. I love this and your Dickinson lately with your illustrations - that is a perfect match.
This is a great landscape. I love the depth and color. It draws you in.
wowww Carla this is awasome, beautiful work lovely!!!
I love your style,.specially the ones that have alot of detail and decour! Beautiful!!
look forward to seeing more
Mmmm reminds me of childhood adventures in the timeless countryside!
This is so beautiful - I wanna go for a walk in this picture! :) I love Emily Dickinson's poetry!
this is gorgeous, really evokes a nostalgia for a bygone era.
it is so peaceful!!!!!!!!!
i adore this!!! Emily Dickinson is one of my faves and the poem matches your art perfectly!!!
love this scene!
This is a beautiful and calming painting. I can see a hint of breeze with the strokes of your hand. Just lovely!
Solid calm indeed! Lovely.
Beautiful painting! Love the softness and colors.
Beautiful!
I love this, such sernity!
I'm looking forward to walk on this specific route just to get to feel some peacefulness for my tired soul.
Wow, what a different approach to "match" -- very tranquil with that hint of stormy sky. Great interpretation!
Lovely match of poetry and painting.
Hey, Carla! What a solid calm this scene is. I'll be going up to the mountains this weekend and I think I'll get into nature that gives a similar feel as this--the profound lack of civilization. But the whole place will be trees. Your work with acrylic is very impressive. Paint and brushes still confuse my creative sense.
I really like the depth that your created and the beautiful brush strokes in the trees, Carla.
words and wisdom and lovely lovely colors Carla. this is one of my favorites of yours!
Beautiful clouds and irises. And that path would be a great one to jog upon and see what lies within that grove of trees on the far rise. Way nice.
