Freedom in absentia

The empty moment

Frozen time in naked light

Pure pastel hues, carefully swatched, I’m sure

No curves here, save a silent whiteness

An instant caught in Modern eyes

Ideal distilled from real

Deep this, I'm guessing you are describing a picture that exists only in your mind's eye

(could be wrong of course and I'm missing something here)

I like the idea of the artist, choosing pastel shades, love silent whiteness. This leaves you wondering. :)

Cheers onemorething. You've set something going here. Can't beat a bit of inspiration.

I think I maybe get it. Sometimes I can be a bit slow. Or maybe I get it even less than I did before. I

 thinking, in absentia is the silence of whiteness.

Ahhhh. Now it is clear. I didn't make this connection. I was looking at pastels in Norman Rockwell paintings when  I first read it, completely off track, but maybe that was the idea. :)

Follow the IP, Tom. Might not be as intriguing as you think. Maybe your reading of it is better. It's equally valid.
