BARELY TOUCHING

EVENING'S SWIFT MOVEMENT
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame

The motion was circular as the clouds raced.

Barely touching the mountaintop 
and the tips of the trees. 

Mesmerized, I watched the movement swell then drop.

    I love this painting and the name is great! You can just feel the movement in the sky and the marks are so gestural. There's a wonderful feeling of spontaneity.
