Image: A Symmetrical Image
seen in Perspective (here)
symmetrical
symmetrical if it has at least
one line of symmetry, i.e. it
can be divided in such a way
that its two halves perfectly
match each other
perspective
drawing of parallel lines as
converging in order to give the
illusion of depth and distance
The Prose
A beautiful image that embodies
both a classic example of being
symmetrical with its own reflection
in the water. It simultaneously is
represented in perspective to accord
depth and distance.
Awareness of both principles can
render an artistic impression most
eloquently as seen here
The Haiku
brought back to those times
of the first lessons in art
of those bygone days

The classic excellence of this world must be protected and available for all. And people need take the responsibility to understand and treasure it. This world is folding in upon itself because it is abandoning its culture and has become hollow. I really like the haiku HankI
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the roots sure can take some mighty big shovels

ReplyDeleteThis brings back the memory of finding depth in the flatness.
ReplyDeleteSo much depth and balance in your words here Hank. Lovely use of the prompts as always!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections – in both image and words.
ReplyDeleteYour writing makes this painting come alive.
ReplyDeleteWell explained - symmetry and perspective!
ReplyDeleteYour haiku is apt for the art depicted here and the art lessons of the bygone days.
