Description Chalks

2010
I had a very bad imsonia a year ago (from end of Feb to July), I had trouble falling asleep. I only sleep like for 4-6 hours every 2-3 days! It went on for almost 6 months. And it was such a painful experience...
During that time, I felt that city life was so quiet. There are lots of buildings, colors, people and other things that I've never seen before. But I am nothing to them and other wise.

Another Day in the City

It's five o'clock in the morning
I opened my window
I saw the tall buildings close by
and various ads on their walls
The lights on the roads were still on

It's seven thirty
I walked to class
I saw people and people and people
rushing and rushing and rushing
going somewhere in the city

It's almost twelve
The sun was scorching outside.
I was still sitting in the classroom.
The teacher was lecturing and the students were chatting by themselves.
But in my head
it was a loud silence I hear.

It's past eleven pm.
The night was dark.
I couldn't sleep.
I laid still.
cars and night people passed by outside.
But in my head
it was a loud silence I hear.

It's five o'clock in the morning
The dawn was bright outside.
I couldn't sleep.
I opened my window.
I stood there. Still.
The birds were chirping and the neighbors opened their windows.
But in my head
it was a loud silence I hear.

It's really...
It's just another day in the city...

I love both composition and colors in this one. This is peaceful and dynamic in the same time.The contrast is very nice too.

I love the choices you have made in this piece. The colors are great and really made vibrant with those slashes of brightness in the buildings and sky. The city occupying most of the right with the very red hued sky dominating the left makes an attractive composition and really allows for a beautiful contrast between the two areas in shape and color.
