- When We Dance
- Today she said itToday she said it out loud. The words hung in the air, heavy and sad.
- Bring it back, bring it back, don’t take it away from me
- There’s a different kind of silence when you’re alone
- Isn’t it strange how things can change you?“You wonder how fast you’ll go when you hit the air. And oh, isn’t it strange how things can change you?”
Nice tie in to both topics. Very expressive.
As present-day life fades away…
Her expression is perfect.
Long forgotten friends have joined her I see. I’m sure she’s comforted to know they’re right beside her
Beautiful, Johanna.
yup, they’re always with her
Some lovingly haunting about it! Excellent image!

I really like this. Thought provoking. You captured just the right expression on her face too.
Interesting thought. I wonder how many of us older ones think this, too? Nice artwork. Sincerely, Connie
this is amazingly good.
I love the way the text is a part of this.
There is such a story here too….
this is wonderful… and i have a sneaking suspicion this will be me in years to come! great job combining the two prompts.
Very nice atmosphere.
Wonderful illustration! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
This is beautiful!
Wait till you start dreaming about young men falling in love with you and you get worried because they might any minute realise that you are 63. No wonder we mature folk spend a lot of our time laughing!
i like the idea of spending a lot of the time laughing as we grow older
very beautiful Johanna! Sometimes I like to wish that too
there’s nothing like seeing things for the first time
someone made the comment that your work is thought provoking…I agree. It has emotional expressiveness and truth.
Thanks for the comment on my blog.
I love your colours. Do you use a limited palette?
hi lysh, yup i normally use a limited palette
usually earth tones
o my goodness, how this artwork is effective….I can simply be in her place
Very thought-provoking work.
She is still young in many ways considering her companions. You captured the feeling of youth with age with a certain innocence she has not lost.
Wonderful coffee and chocolate browns…
Have a wonderful week with your love ones:)
who can blame her for that? hopefully she will not forget
Magical piece, Johanna
