SHOW OF LIGHTS


SHOOTING RAYS
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame


Darkened clouds filled the vast sky.

The daylight was escaping quickly. 

Yet as the sun descended, the beams of bright light burst forth.

And illuminated the night.

    Inspirational. And I love your poetry, too! I'm back in the saddle, girl, but Dunkin Donuts is trying to derail us!

    amazing color, wonderful strokes... pastels were something that I never quite got the feel for, so I am always even more impressed by those that do!

    As a painter who strives for emotion around the human face mostly, this has that "IT" factor...Turner-esque. But modern. Bravo.

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
