SLIVER OF ORANGE - 4 1/2 x 41/2 pastel

SLIVER OF ORANGE
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame
PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Dark the evening rolled
with clouds billowing in all sizes.

Tumbling and large,
 an ink mass rose above slender wisps. 

The air would be ominous 
if not for the slice of orange
at the horizon. 

Color.
