TROPICAL No. 4

Pastel on watercolor paper, 1995

No politic eases the fever of a tropical
Honeycomb of color, not even death
Frees us from the color of light.
I think
We are only-longing, in our shortening days
Only lying in wait for the change.
When have we not made images of flowers.

Earthly Paradise,
Flower Gallery

All my flowers are a respite from my more involving symbolic work, a way to the more quiet grace that only comes with the contemplation of simple beauty. They are also ways of working out difficult problems in color and design. These works are decorative as their very nature demands, and I hope unapologetically lovely.

Giclée prints may be ordered.
