I speak to you good friend

sharp eyed and finger

nimble

Painter of sin

and symbol,

shade caster of

HELL

you are

seated just so

in black hat

and

blood red

winding sheet,

I see you as you

sketch

the village

of the doomed

all

mutifaced and

faceted

like demonic

jewels,

You place yourself in Hades

in oils

on the wood

did you see

or hear something

that said

you should?

Some believe that Bosch did a Self Portrait of himself in one of his paintings. I gave you some clues to find it.

A puzzle for you.

Are you speaking of the shadows that hide within? Still, till the ripples or movement of the unknown, shake their eerie skin. Hmmmmmm, very intriguing and a bit scary...I really like your writing style, a lot!!!

You are a wonder. Love Hieronymous Bosch. Now I'll have to revisit the paintings, I think I know which one but I don't want to give up the answer.

Well we've got a couple of libraries around, so you'll have to give me the name of the book. Or perhaps buy a copy from a local bookstore....

Yep, Love Hieronymous Bosch, have been able to attend gallery showings of his works a couple times. So incredible to see them (as it is with many works of art) for real, in person.

Yep, I'm definitely in a mood today, and this one scared me. What's wrong with me?

The jagged shadows in the minds of those who speak in sin and symbol are much scarier to me, than flowing shadows cast by moon and shape.

You are in a mood, hehehehehe, this won't go away till after Halloween. The equinox I think has tipped my brain a little.

Beautiful sentence there etva, motion, emotion and mood.

I'm always amused how my mood changes again on November 1st. I have to decide if I'm going to try to go to the Restore Sanity event or stay home and throw a Halloween party.

I believe there is going to be a full moon tonight...that might explain our moods. Be careful not to get bitten tonight!
