A Chromatic Life continues at Westland Gallery until October 13. During the span of the show, I’m sharing images and prose around some of my works.

Lake Henry’s Glow
A late summer sun is pressing down on the day
the same one that beckoned us from our first waking breaths
to leap fully into its light; brightly painting
madcap shadows of us run-dancing along the lane,
Now pulls on our tails sweetly
Signals us to temper our pace
We drop our voices
and take our bench seats,
agog at the set
all has been edged with gilt
a burnished copper water surface billows and
bows back to the marsh grasses’
pink feathery flouncing
Next a gracious choir of blackbirds enters,
staging the evening
jostling gently
demure about their red epaulettes
evening velvet drops
on a rope
imperceptibly
at first
its music all around us
