MISTY WATERCOLORED MEMORIES

ONLY GOD CAN PROVIDE SANCTUARY

To capture the essence of a hazy, purple sunrise, To  brush strokes of muted lavender and gold, To place a creature within the environment, To temper, refine, correct, re-do, The life of an artist, Yet not perfect, despite its beauty, … Continue reading
