A bit sad - Night skies bring out different things in different people. Nicely Done Haiku!
Ah lovely. Definitely helps place things into perspective - hope you are feeling fresh as a newborn soon!! (That sounded more creepy than I intended). 🫤😊
There's just something about the night sky, beautiful work :)
Really beautiful! The sky, especially a starry one, can certainly bring some perspective on those off days
Excellent entry, sir! As you know, the night sky is one of my favorite subjects and I find this very relatable. Well done!
Still beautiful though.... perhaps you're too close to the project?? 💚
Love this and I know the feeling!
Oooo, luminous quilt, I especially loved that! Sending you lots of love and hugs, Sir Paul ❤️
Beautiful piece, and I hope you're feeling better.
beautiful -- love the title too
Brilliant! Great challenge entry, Paul!
This is praising the Lord in my thinking. Great work.
