Karen Crosby

Born in Yorkshire England area, Karen has been an artist all her life since a child.
Studied art at the Thornes Park College England and specializes in watercolor and Gouache.
Her image and paintings are based upon the emotions and connections of life and nature.
She is fascinated with light, shadow, and contrast in bringing out visual impact
pertaining to the connections between inner emotion
and the connectiions of Mother Nature.
This is very evident in her self portraits.

Karen is also an accomplished photographer who also explores the art of seeing photographically.
Karen also explores color in her paintings that is based upon the
Pre-Raphaelites style that incorporates both watercolor and acrylic.
She also explores landscapes in her painting when she feels
that they can bring emotion or connections, or both to that landscape.

Many Blessings and I hope you enjoy my images.

'LXXXIII From: Cien sonetos de amor'
by Pablo Neruda

Its good to feel you are close to me in the night, love,
invisible in your sleep, intently nocturnal,
while I untangle my worries
as if they were twisted nets.
Withdrawn, your heart sails through dream,
but your body, relinquished so, breathes
seeking me without seeing me perfecting my dream
like a plant that seeds itself in the dark.
Rising, you will be that other, alive in the dawn,
but from the frontiers lost in the night,
from the presence and the absence where we meet ourselves,
something remains, drawing us into the light of life
as if the sign of the shadows had sealed
its secret creatures with flame.

Entrance of the Rivers
by Pablo Neruda

Beloved of the rivers,beset
by azure water and transparent drops,
like a tree of veins your spectre
of dark goddess biting apples:
and then awakening naked
to be tattoed by the rivers,
and in the wet heights your head
filled the world with new dew.
Water rose to your waist,
You are made of wellsprings
and lakes shone on your forehead.
From your sources of density you drew
water like vital tears
and hauled the river-beds to the sand
across the planetary night,
crossing rough, dilated stone,
breaking down on the way
all the salt of geology,
cutting through forests of compact walls
dislodging the muscles of quartz.



If You Forget Me
by Pablo Neruda

I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
