'REFLECTIVE, RECLUSIVE, PENSIVE': FROM JENNIFER DENNIS' PAINTING, 'OLD FISHING BOAT'...

 Reflective, Reclusive, Pensive…

(from Jennifer Dennis’ painting…)



This painting ‘Old Fishing Boat’, won a gold medal for watercolour at the 2015 annual exhibition at Cazouls-lès-Béziers, France. 


I felt that the colour of the ageing vessel seemed a bright spot in the misty surroundings, paling the other boats into insignificance.


In the current ‘lockdown’ times, the vessel, its colour and indeed its very existence made me think of having something for the troubled mind to focus upon, despite the sad and distressing undercurrents of the life we are living in… 


Reflective, Reclusive, Pensive…


Reflective

Vessel exudes colour

In the foreground.

Somnolent, serene, untidily

Omnipotent and

Retrospective…


Reclusive

Boats lurk in mists

In the background.

Irrelevant, mundane, nearly

Inconsequent and

Introspective…


Pensive

Thoughts, doleful, eased

In the troubled mind.

Potent, arcane, uncannily

Content and

Intuitive…
