On Thursday February 23rd, I was invited to speak about my painting "Ghost on the Bridge".
I was invited to the gallery to speak about my painting Ghost on the Bridge, details above. I am including the poem that I wrote about her (to be shared with guests), and how it prompted me to paint this sketch:
I walk pass her, glancing
She sits cross legged, leaning
Passerby must notice her, I am assuming
But no one is stopping
Her undeterred gaze in her book,
She sits as if in a perfect nook
Ignoring the traffic as the bridge shook
I wonder what is her outlook!
Melancholy sets in as I hurry to the train
But her image remains
What is the cause of her pain?
Can a normal life be attained?
Ignored by most she has become a ghost on the bridge!
Best regards,
Christiane
