Transparent 4, Bittersweet 3, Electric Purple 19: blue grey green lavender
Author: Kat
Title: blue grey green lavender
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Transparent 4 (Scent the air), bittersweet 3 (nostalgia), electric purple 19 (I find myself on canvas/I find myself on stage/Can you see me/Are you near me/And I long to know you're real/ And I long for you to be part of me (The Ocean Blue- Between Something And Nothing)) with SWL's paint-by-numbers (Nathan's drawn something that doesn't belong in the corner of one of his drafts.)
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, chalk (jellyfish awe), stain (We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people. - Arthur Schopenhauer), novelty beads ("How does a person feel when looking at the sky? He thinks that he doesn't have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopping describing the sky, simply listing what they see." -Umberto Eco).
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Summary: Nathan and the ocean.
Warnings: none
Notes: Ninja post before I go off to Ohio for the weekend. Description exercise, it's SWL's fault, you understand.
eta: I was so tired I forgot to credit a line, so please forgive my accidental plagarism. "Blue grey green lavender" is from a Mary Oliver poem, Tides, which inspired this piece.
"What the hell's this?" his boss asks, holding up the draft with its squiggles of water, and for a moment all Nathan can see is the ocean.
blue grey green lavender water rushing up the shore and back down again, with that strange quiet roar that nothing else on earth makes, alive to the taste of salt and the feel of the sand and the indescribable scent of the sea, of life and death and the purest, plainest breadth of anything that he can ever know
"It's a beachfront property, isn't it?" he asks, and they shrug, and move on.
