What a Day

by Chavah Kinloch on April 28, 2010

Two more off the list!

30. Change the music on my ipod.

Who would have thought changing the music on my ipod would be SUCH a mission. It’s pretty straight forward stuff right? Yes, it is. So how come it took me about 12 hours. I know!!!… but explaining the whole ordeal would just be too much of a mission. It involves error messages,  slow uploads and dying computers. Let’s just say I started my evening off last night being my happy little self and by the end of it I was not a happy chappy. I ended up just going to bed and in the morning when I woke up, everything I had set up had magically found it’s way onto my ipod. I think I might need to say thank you to my hubby.

8. Write a poem.

I wrote a poem today. Well, I didn’t actually write it so much as typed random words without stopping to think. It took me all of about 30 seconds and when I stopped to look, I’d written two verses. It’s a pretty dark poem. I’m not quite ready to share it in it’s entirety just yet so I’ve put it in an image. I figured I’d turn it into a little piece of art. It features the whole poem but it’s a little hard to read..on purpose. Some things are better left to the imagination. If you by chance manage to read the entire thing though, congratulations. It really encompasses the state I was in at the time of writing it. There’s been something bugging me the past couple of weeks, I don’t think I hid it too well but I think… I HOPE that it’s finally finished with today. If anything, at least it’s given me a chance to create through poetry. I’ll take it.

Don’t worry, I feel much better after getting it all out now :) Nothing bad has happened tomorrow. Get up and try again.

The Tender Art of Love

by Chavah Kinloch on November 18, 2009

Have you ever felt that heavenly love,
the kind that brings tears to your eyes?
Have you ever had such strong emotions,
you dreaded to say goodbye?
Have you ever had that moment,
where you knew you’d found the one?
Have you ever found that place in life,
where you finally knew you belonged?
I’ve felt all these because of you,
and as confusing as it is.
I wouldn’t change it for the world,
this tender, art of love.

Forever is Sold

by Chavah Kinloch on January 31, 2008

This piece has my favourite little poem on it. It has just been sold locally which makes me very happy. I love when pieces go to those close to home.
FOREVER is a mixed media piece which has been painted across a huge 1m wide canvas. It is created with beautiful reds, yellows and browns, freaturing green grasses which represent Forever. I chose grass as here in New Zealand, grass really does go on forever, there’s no way we could possibly count every strand of it so I felt it fit in nicely. On the left of the painting it also features an original poem which reads:
It seems like forever since I first met you, the light shone in your eyes, that glimmer’s still strong.It seems like forever since I first held your hand, so gentle yet strong, nothing in life felt wrong.It seems like forever since I first fell in love with you, my heart wouldn’t stop racing, forever’s meant to be with you.
Title: Forever
Artist: CTTK
Size: W100cm L = 80cm
Style: Stylised
Medium: Stretched cotton canvas, quality acrylics, gel medium and gloss coated for protection.
