So what's all this about? Where are the photos of models being painted? Fear not, they shall be back soon! But today, I'm going to show you something else I've been working, some Latin poetry. I do this in between painting, it takes a fair while to even finish this much, around two months. But it is an interesting challenge and I find it very rewarding. On with the Latin!
quid fiunt ultimis verbis? abluuntur reliquorum
lacrimis? destinantur sunt audiri nequando?
pueri verba fiunt prima, vel libri futuri?
vexant actores conantes proludere?
vento volant exitoso? scriptoris animo surgunt?
inferno detrahuntur tribunis peccantibus?

inferno detrahuntur tribunis peccantibus?
While I doubt many people are interested, the poem has been written in the elegiac couplet, the style used in Ovid's Amores. It actually took a long time to decide on the words to use, and which order to put them in, and so while it doesn't look like much I'm rather pleased with the results! I may, however, return later if I decide to make a few changes...
Well if you're still reading I'm amazed, but I know that there's at least one or two people who sometimes visit and study Latin, so if that's you, leave a comment and let me know what you think! You know who you are...
To everyone else, I'll be showing more models next time, don't worry. Thanks for reading!
