Beautiful Thoughts + Moments

An acrylic painting made with a palette knife. On it you see the sky with clouds and one single tree standing tall against it. The words "practice resurrection" are written on it.
Practice Resurrection – My Favorite Poem by Wendell Berry

Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.

The book 'The Waves' by Virginia Woolf is so strange and wonderful. Many paragraphs and sentences inspired me. This painting is inspired by this one: "And being in love for the first time, I made a phrase - a poem about a wood-pigeon - a single phrase, for a hole had been knocked in my mind, one of those sudden transparencies through which one sees everything."

This printable artwork is titled: "You Are Love And Lonely".  This text is also written on the painting and is from a poem written by Gerard Reve in his book 'Nader tot U': “Eigenlijk geloof ik niets, en twijfel ik aan alles, zelfs aan U. Maar soms, wanneer ik denk dat Gij waarachtig leeft, dan denk ik, dat Gij Liefde zijt, en eenzaam, en dat, in dezelfde wanhoop, Gij mij zoekt zoals ik U." My translation of this poem to English is:  "To be honest, I don't believe anything,  and doubt everything, even You.  But at times, when I think that You truly live,  then I think, that You are love, and lonely,  and that, in the same despair, You look for me as I You."

This painting is inspired by this one: "I think sometimes (I am not twenty yet) I am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. I am the seasons, I think sometimes, January, May, November; the mud, the mist, the dawn."

Whether or not you know the writings of Virginia Woolf, this poster will suit you if you love the beach and the sea. The drawing was inspired by this passage from the book Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf: “So on a summer's day waves collect, overbalance, and fall; collect and fall; and the whole world seems to be saying 'that is all' more and more ponderously, until even the heart in the body which lies in the sun on the beach says too 'that is all'. Fear no more, says the heart. Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall.”
