ALWAYS A SILVER LINING

DRIPPING
4 1/2" X 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

It was late afternoon and . . .

the sun was blazing . . .
as I withered from the scorch.

The heat parched my mouth . . .
as I walked.

Yet a beauty I behold . . . 
from an illusion that lightened my step.

 The orange clouds appeared to melt before my eyes.

    I'm always amazed at the drama you capture in such a small piece. Luscious.

    Thanks Manisha - it is really orange.

    And Kelley - I love "Luscious"! Such a descriptive, playful word.
