S: What an odd, ugly-looking swan she is! C: Look at that dumb swan. One would say he has never seen a crow in his life!

Principal and pupil? That’s what the body language says to me, but then I’ve been thinking about my teaching life. I like the starkness of the surrounds – all context obliterated. Speaks opposites in many ways beyond the obvious size.

Thank you very much my dear 🙂 I think the swan is about to be taught 😀

I like the colours in this – the way the same mottled hues of the pebbles behind are repeated, in differing degrees, in the plumage of the swan and crow. Can imagine this being transformed into some kind of lino print. Well caught though – very big bird and not so little bird. And yes, crows are bound to be the winners in any game.

On a more serious note: Differences that attract and last, that is invaluable.

Hi Paula, I love that picture – it has a lot of potential for interpretations.
Here is my attempt at opposites. Since I am studying the aesthetic potential of walls (sounds good, right?) it may not be quite as original as the birds … and some other entires here. Anyhow: http://empireoflights.com/2015/05/22/opposite-walls/
