Shadows of Prague

Original painting
on canvas
24" X 36"

December 5th marks the 219  anniversary

of Mozart's death
(1791)

This  painting was inspired by Mozart's life in Prague,1787.
He used to rent the rooms on the building on the right side of the street.On the left side of the street,Mozart's Opera libretist and friend was also living there at the time, they used to comunicate with each other thru the balcony, and windows of these buildings. I imagined all this going on when I was working on this painting.
If you are lucky enough to go to Prague, this street is still there, and the buildings as well,of course painted in diferent colours.

Mozart's music is being performed,recorded, and listened to at this time than ever before...

the explanation must be simple:

 An universal response to beauty
To me, Mozart  represents the pinnacle of human creative achievement.

PARIS NOIR

acrylic on canvas

16" X 20"

PARIS NOIR

                                                      

down boulevards and avenues

the back streets of desire

in this city of intrigue and passion

discretion is still the elegant fashion

here the chamber walls would never tell

and if they did, they'd lie

because behind closed doors beneath the covers

secrets stay unblemished between true lovers

by  Lance Bunda 

Within Reach

Acrylic on canvas

24" X 30"

                                     

WITHIN REACH

all that we see
 is within reach

to touch
to feel
to embrace

faith in fate
in love and reason
imploring life
for hope and peace

to seek
to learn
to know
to teach

all we imagine
is within reach

by Lance Bunda



Bouquet of Dreams

I have arranged a *Bouquet*of a few
of my *Dreams* for your pleasure...

SALESMAN OF FANTASY

we all want to be wanted

love to be loved

need to be needed

dream of being dreamed of

while hopes and starry eyes

flicker gently in the night

do you wait and pray for someone

to come and change your life

well I provide a service

let's just say I make things right

sample my wares because I can offer

anything you'd like

I'm the salesman of fantasy

out selling dreams

could you use

something new

to believe in

I'm a beacon of light

a port in a storm

a calm in the sea of emotion

I'll make you forever rich

or forever young

there's never a problem dreams can't overcome

I can give to you beauty

extract truth from a lie

let me help keep the tears from your eyes

if you give me a call

I can come right away

and there's never a charge

unless you want to pay

I've no shortage of clients

I work night and day

in a world that seems destined to say

      we all want to be wanted

      love to be loved

      need to be needed

      dream of being dreamed of

I'm the salesman of fantasy

out selling dreams

could you use

something new

to believe in

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL MY LIFE

I looked in life's mirror

and what did I see

someone unfamiliar

staring back at me

now I know what I'm like

and I'm like what I saw

but where have I been all my life

tell me please

scattered memories

offer hints of the past

a whirlwind existence

that blew by too fast

stripping the leaves from my trees

so tell me please

where have I been all my life

The Canvas

The Canvas

if I could write sweet words that rhyme

I'd write a poem for you

if I could sketch a colored thought

by blending pastel views

I'd let the colors flow

forevermore

on the canvas of your heart

and if I was a poet still

I'd try to find the words

that might describe my mood

blend pastel views

with the reaches of the mind

and let the colors flow

forevermore

on the canvas of your heart

Ballerina

acrylic on
canvas

                                                And all my days are trances
                                                And all my nightly dreams
                                                Are where thy dark eye glances
                                                And where thy footstep gleams
                                                In what ethereal dances
                                                By what eternal streams..

Excerpt  from the poem "To One in Paradise" by E.A.Poe

Pianoforte

22" X 28"
acrylic on canvas

 TONE  POEM

To be captured alone
with you
is a tone poem

Your harmony drifts
like a mist
through the air

And your melody  lingers long after you're gone
like a symphony
keeps me aware

So to discover your love
is to be trapped in a prison
with bars that contain me
like those of a song

And when a strong will like mine
succumbs to weak indecision
and meek inhibitions
the tone poem plays on

by Lance Bunda

Metamorphic Angel

24" X 30" acrylic on canvas..

                                                   

while inspiration feeds invention
frustration breeds contempt
therefore a spirit needs a noble cause
for this earthlife to be prudently spent

and so it goes
we are resigned to this
yet are offered wings to rise above
those who falter and those who fail
perhaps to rescue souls and protect them from danger
to emerge
as metamorphic angels

(exerpt from Metamorphic Angels)
by Lance Bunda

NEXT

onward I go

through human interaction

exploration fuels my ride

discovery my inspiration

thoughts become goals

become plans

become me

what could be

what will be

next

life is expectation

bound by apprehension

seeking destination

hoping for redemption

inward I go

in search of satisfaction

imagination is my guide

desire my motivation

thoughts feed ideas

feed dreams

feed me

 

could I be

will I be

next

May

Wish you

a beautiful Summer..

* Summer *

dreaming of rose coloured mornings...

                

* APRIL *

April
flowing through the unconscious stream
embellishing fantasies
and harvesting dreams

* Adagio *

Today it feels
like a new beginning,
promises of dreamy
days ahead..
outside, a soothing
rain nourishing the earth..

  slow musical notes..

Hi

I'm looking out of these old windows
at the clouds passing by..

wishing to see
a butterfly..

of that special someone..

BRIDGE

I've wandered too far
from the shores of illusion
and this otherworld, this netherworld
is disjointed and frayed..

original painting

Trees are the most beautiful

living beings, strong, full of

life and give us food, and oxygen to breathe..

Can you imagine our planet without them?

yet expressed non the less"
