Playground / Secret Alliance

I've always been
the new kid
navigating a playground
of invisible alliances,
the new hire

reconnoitering a terrain
of secret agendas - 
sans org chart.

The artist

attempting to discern
cohesive relationships

that transform abstraction
into working universe.

 

This is a 10" x 15.5" acrylic and ink painting on Bainbridge mat board. The above text inscribed on the back and signed by the artist.

This work and others are available in the artist's Etsy shop.

Elizabeth Park Shade Garden

Todays offering. . . a sketch from the shade garden in Elizabeth Park, an artist's sanctuary on a sweltering June day.

Elizabeth Park is famous for the rose gardens where you can wander its paths savoring the views,  transported by the enchanting perfume of hundreds of roses.
