{an extremely irregular series: tribute the first, tribute the second, tribute the third.}

dear mark rothko,

your paintings pierce my heart.
your paintings nourish my spirit.
your paintings express the inexpressible.

i wish i could send my deepest appreciation to you on a radiant shooting star. but i believe that love is everywhere, and that our souls never die, so i trust that you feel it, everywhere you are.

you inspire me. always.

in gratitude,
your (not-so-secret) admirer

  1. beautiful tribute.
    he’s smiling no doubt.
    because you get it.

  2. You said it so well, Elizabeth! I could echo you sentiments… his works seem to reflect parts of my heart and soul, and I just find that amazing! But that’s what great art does, doesn’t it–reflects parts of ourselves we often find hard finding words for? Happy Days :o) ((HUGS))

    Tammy: I hope he is!

    Tracy: “reflects parts of ourselves we often find hard findings words for” ~ yes, yes, yes! You stated that so simply + beautifully.
