A poem I wrote

When the night
is dark and ebony
breezes blowing
crickets chirping,
I think of you,
reaching to me
from years past
from memories in my mind
from photos in my book
silently watching me paint
as the night grows late
I feel the breeze on my cheek
and know you are there

Here is an impressionistic floral I finished . . .

I gave this painting to my sister-in-law for
her birthday . . . lots of birthdays lately . . .

More New Art . .

This painting is in my daughter's room.

When I was finished with it, she wouldn't let me sell it.

New Art

Here is a new collage painting. I really like this one!

And here is a folk art angel painting on a paper mache box. I gave this to my niece for her birthday. Birthdays are wonderful aren't they?
