Ode to Nature in Paintings and Verses

                 Ode to Nature in Paintings and Verses

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere." 

–Laura Ingalls Wilder

 Paintings & Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor

Waterfalls, painted from childhood memory 

(Napo, Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur) AVR

Roar in monsoon, whisper in summer,

catch the rain upstream,

leap over the ledge, glow and shimmer, 

 die as you lose your steam,

yet you live in sweet memory forever.

"Where there's a waterfall, there's a way to adventure!" Journey Era

Rock well in acrylic by AVR

It's a world in a world your own

deep in the deep unknown;

domain of the bold and mean,

lovely, yet lonely, unseen.

"The deep sea is the largest museum on earth, it contains more history than all the museums on land combined, and yet we're only now penetrating it." Robert Ballard

Pinsal Fall, Sta. Maria. Ilocos Sur AVR

Rage, rage and fall free

as you seek liberty;

surrender to gravity,

flow, flow out to sea.

"All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are." - Lao Tzu

Light in the Forest, acrylic AVR

Be benevolent, lose your crown,

let the sun in,

nourish those in your shade.

'til they turn green.

"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." - John Muir.

Parakeets in the trees, relief painting in acrylic AVR

You mimic us humans talk

 often rude and sulk;

just talk to the trees

and the passing breeze. ~

"Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky." - Kahlil Gibran.
