night sky

“If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, 
how would men believe and adore; 
and preserve for many generations 
the remembrance of the city of God 
which had been shown!
 But every night come out these envoys of beauty, 
and light the universe 
with their admonishing smile.” 
― Ralph Waldo EmersonNature and Selected Essays

The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
 Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
 They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,

    their words to the ends of the world.

~ King David

  6. Love the poem and the painting. That's what I was trying to do but my salt didn't want to play. Your night sky is beautiful.

    1. I used watercolor and salt only on this one. I was pleased with the salt's effect, for sometimes (depending on humidity and pigment and paper) it is very temperamental and you never know what the end result will be! This time it came through for me:-)
