These are poems that I have written that also showcase my oil paintings that I have completed to date. I started to paint in 2001 with no knowledge of drawing, colors, balance, nor training,. I spent the summer in the public library scouring art books, techniques in paiting, then tried watercolors (blah0 and then acrylle (better) but then I discovered OIL and was taken away with what I could do with it. All these paintings are originals from trips that I have taken or from memories locked inside my head. They are the balance to my art...poetry allows me to explore my past demons and discover my angels, oil painting allows me to be vibrants with my skies and blend colors that are rainbows to all who see them.
-
as she stood and looked out into the
golden wheat fields -
you will dance
and drink -
like the many silks
of his skin -
The morning dew misty upon the fields
sun rays illuminating green aspen leaves
