This time I did not create a beautiful curtain you might all expected.When I read CT`s new topic:"Curtain", only one picture appeared in my head: the Iron Curtain in Berlin.This "curtain" or wall divided Europe into two separate areas from the end of WWII till 1989. I know it was a rather horrible symbol of the Cold War, but I thought I might bring a little love and cheerfulness in it.(Eventhough such love-planes could never cross the "curtain" in those times...)Ezuttal nem egy gyonyoru fuggonyt rajzoltam, amit talan tobben vartatok. Amikor elolvastam a Creative Tuesday uj temajat:"Fuggony", egy kep ugrott be: a vasfuggony Berlinben.Ez a "fuggony" vagy fal ket reszre osztotta Europat a vilaghaboru vegetol egeszen 1989ig. Tudom,hogy ez a hideghaborunak egy inkabb borzalmas szimboluma, megis ugy gondoltam hoznek bele egy kis szeretetet es vidamsagot.(Akkor is, ha ilyen szerelmes repulok soha nem repulhettek at a "fuggonyon" azokban az idokben...)
This is just fabulous! Oh, So clever...so well done with the dark colors and then the pops of life and love with the hearts and little girl...and the detail of the paper airplane! Awesome!! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea for this weeks theme! Very inspired AND inspiring! I LOVE your love-plane :)x
ReplyDeleteOh gosh.. didn't see that coming. Really deep topics on this theme! I was living in Germany while this wall was in place. I really like the touch of the love plane. Really adds a beautiful touch of promise and tenderness!! I enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteAnita--this is brilliant! not jsut how playfully you've pictured it but the whole interpretation in the first place. Who would have thought of Churchill's famous descript!
ReplyDeleteI love this piece--the hand n the other side tossing over that love note airplane. Cute. Truly, what a sign of hope that woudl have been. :)
thank you so much for this contribution.
Right, I'm off to lok at the others now. See you there>
BTw, will post this thursday pm in the montage.
This is an amazing idea and so well done!
ReplyDeleteThe mood you created with your colors and technique is perfect :)

What an original idea for this theme. It was a great day when that particular curtain came down. Love your color choices, the love plane, and the joyous look on the little girl's sweet face.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! That is one curtain we all were glad to see come down! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a most original take on the theme. Thanks for adding the whimsical touch.
ReplyDeleteYou've given us a deep and wonderful interpretation... Did that take me by surprise, and just makes me remember that day the wall came down. But I love the little paper airplane that didn't have bounderies,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your lovely comments!:)))
ReplyDeleteAppropriately chilling, yet whimsical interpretation. I like the lightness of the piece with such a strong message behind it.
ReplyDeleteI also like the skill in your linework. Great work.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a wonderful, profound piece, Anita. A reminder that children can redeem us. A moment of joy and whimsy in the face of a symbol of ugliness and sadness.
