24x36
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
so this is last year's painting..and once again Antonia Matthew honored me with the following poem:
Out There: Earth and Ether
Air,
snowstorm-white, smog-yellow
surges by.
Air Howls, snagged
by shadowed mountain range
whose rocks are silent, enigmatic.
Air becomes river.
Mountain becomes
packed-earth bank.
River becomes torrent
battling earth.
River becomes sea.
Earth, becomes rocky shore.
Sea becomes great wave
lifted by wind, rising, cresting,
to assault shore,
crack rock open,
expose secrets.
Rock, silent, hunkers down.
The watcher's hands punch sky,
feet grip rock, as sea foams
around her, filling her ears
with clamor. Possessed, her eyes
burn. She is poised to leap.
Force of wind and water
push her back,
keep her
watching
(and yes..i love this one too!!)
