painting details


Jean François de Le Motte

painting details

speaking parts
significant numbers
lettered states of mind

flickers of hope
senseless memories
imaginative figures

characterizations
mundane interpretations
innocence and healing

first impressions
casual thoughts
profound revelations

in the details
combinations, variations
love of the written word

About zongrik

For those of you who do not know the handle "zongrik," that would be Bat-Ami Gordin. Most people call me "Tammy." Bat-Ami means "daughter of my nation" in Hebrew. It's a heavy name to carry around. I answer to either name. I also answer to "mama." Some Basic Things about me: Animal lover, mom, poet/writer, dramatic soprano, photographer, teacher/tutor, CERT/Technician and, oh yeah, aerospace engineer. I consider myself "The Astro-Poet." To learn more about the origins of the word "zongrik" see whats-a-zongrik?
