This Too Shall Pass
©
GHPF
Colored pencil on paper, 11x14in.
I’m visiting my sister this week and left my art equipment at home…suffering from major art withdrawal symptoms, I rushed out to a local craft store and bought really inexpensive colored pencils and a sketch pad…here is the result…I destroyed a few pencils in the process in order to get the bright colors that I wanted here…oh well…
Years ago, whenever I was sad, or depressed, or felt overwhelmed, my Dad would look straight into my eyes and say these wonderful words…and, of course, he was right!!!
This Too Shall Pass
Sometimes we’re surrounded by sorrow and pain,
Encircling our lives, with no means of escape…
Whenever this happens, remember my friends,
These words of wisdom: This too shall pass…
Insurmountable obstacles…or at least so they seem…
The world presses down with unbearable weight…
As difficult as that is, it won’t last forever.
So never forget: This too shall pass…
Emotions that are almost impossible to bear…
Sadness and anger….disappointment and fear…
Nothing goes right, but yet, please be patient,
And be rest assured that this too shall pass…
So in the darkest of days, or in the worst of times,
Things will get better, just know that they will…
The truth will resound in these words of wisdom…
Always remember: This too shall pass…

It reminds me of the paper flowers I was making when I was a child. It was a New Year's eve tradition.
Thanks for your great words on mine.
Keep doodling with your colour pencils!!!
That reminds me the artwork of my students at french school from which my work is inspired !
Very spontaneous ! :)))))5*****

William Thomas
Thank you..
The kids and I wish you lived in our neighbourhood because it would be great if we could spend an inspirational afternoon making art with you in the lead, as a way of helping you to satisfy your insatiable need to create with color...and you are so amazingly good at it! Circles have never been so colorful and vibrant! ***** From Diana, Andrew and all of your many fans right here on this page!
I was looking at your circles again and it reminds me of those pictures that if you look at them long enough you begin to see a realistic 3 dimensional image. This one really vibrates and the longer you look at it, the more dimensional and colorful it becomes. The circles float in mid air after a while!
Sometimes we’re surrounded by wonderful pieces of a sensitive artistic soul,
Encircling us all, with no means of escape…
Whenever this happens, remember my friends,
These words of wisdom: We won't let him pass us by...
His work is exquisite and bring joy to us all,
Whenever this happens, remember George,
These words of wisdom: We will not let you pass by...
Marion
I probably should study your words of wisdom very closely and take heed of them!

Then old son, it would not pass it, it would be around forever.
Nice words and a bright art piece. 5 luvits from Col.
And thanks a lot for the so nice words of my "Sea Dance"
My best wishes to you, Aneli
I wish I could create these colors and sense of happiness with some cheap colored pencils!! I like it a lot.
I replied to your kind comment on my picture, but I'm not very computer savvy and I've done something wrong and it hasn't come up but appears to be me replying to my own picture. I've no idea what to do. It seems to have happened to several other pictures.
