“Meanwhile the World goes on” 24×24, oil on canvas[creativ_button url=”https://denisehopkinsfineart.com/product/meanwhile-world-goes-24×24-oil-canvas/” icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”]
This one has been dancing around in my head for a while now. Most of my abstracts play around with horizontal lines I like to think of as water or land meeting sky. I like to show and then blur the distinction between the two. But I’ve been thinking about circles a lot lately and wondering how to use them more in some of my work.
A lot of things feel like they’ve come full circle lately. Nothing feels particularly or definitively linear.
The circle, for me, for now, suggests a state of just being. Not a clear start with an intentional end (as I am prone to think about the world), but all of it contained and yet somehow still not.
Below is one of my favorite poems. There are moments when it resonates with me strongly. It’s one of those moments.

One of my favorite poems and favorite poets. It’s so strange that I didn’t know you a couple of months ago. And I only spent a day with you, but I feel such a connection to your words and your work. Truly a gift. This painting is brilliant and gorgeous.It makes me think of the sun, the moon, and the tapestry of time and humanity. LOVE.
Just lovely, Denise. The poem, too, but I think I’ll forever associate it with this composition.
