Tomas Karkalas’s Art Exhibit Opens in Lithuania

Fellow blogger Tomas Karkalas has information and pictures from the recent opening of his art exhibit in Lithuania on his blog.  If you read my blog and haven’t visited Tomas’s, please drop by to see his beautiful paintings.

“It looks as if my works have nothing in common with an ecclesiastical art, but this isn’t the truth. The secular shapes of my pictures express the same song of gratitude to God and thats the secret of the light. That’s what whispers my colors,” says Tomas, concerning his artwork.

And in an earlier entry, “While welcoming other, I discovered myself, and my memoirs became the sound declarations:
we become ourselves by welcoming other.”

Please join me in offering congratulations to Tomas on his beautiful art show by leaving comments on his blog.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

Beneath the Wyoming Sky

The sky in Wyoming is a large gray blanket.

.

The fog envelops, wrapping us in.

Later that changes.

.

We stand on the bridge on Flat Top Road,

looking for trains, collecting rocks.

.

The earth is flat out in Wyoming:

a westward expanse, spotted with scrub pines.

.

Yellow sunflowers grow wild on the range.

Cattle wander, roam freely

.

beneath a Plexiglas cake plate dome,

which is the perfect sky.

.

Mystery rises from the undulating prairie,

making it gray as the morning fog.

.

A large cloud shadows an entire hill.

A coal mine stands deserted, off in the distance.

.

Bill photographs antelope,

crossing the road.

.
