Description
First I photographed then painted the flower in my backyard, stunned at the light shining through the red-orange petals contrasting with the bright blue sky with scudding fluffy white clouds. Joy! For me painting from a photograph is another way of seeing, more carefully, thoughtfully, meditatively and appreciating the tiny details God puts into every piece of art He creates. I wrote the following poem............................................................AUTUMN SONG
Open your eyes to the loveliness, all around.
Accustom yourself to the slowing down.
Let the colors turning from greens to gold,
Russet, red violet, burnt orange so bold,
float in your vision,
lift you from your prison,
fill your thoughts with wonder
free your mind from slumber.
All around ring the mountains
draped in shimmering gowns.
Soon they will be bereft;
of their beauties, none left.
Azure skies are smiling,
knowing this season is fleeting,
turning around, falling down
but will come around.
Wait through winter,
strong and deep through winter.
Persevere, till spring
greens again.
