Painting & Poems

First I have to share the finished Sunflower painting.

Then...

One afternoon and one late night ..

a blue koi was painted.

Far away on Cold Mountain, a stone path leads upwards.

Among white clouds peoples homes reside.

Stopping my carriage I must, as to admire the maple forest at nights fall.

In awe of autumn leaves showing more red than even flowers of early spring.

Hopefully, this poem will remind you to stop, and "take it all in" as you travel through life.
