She is on the Red Carpet

Finished this yesterday and sold it this morning - I was going to enter it into a show but who knows...it may have not gotten in! You never know...Anyway, I'm so pleased and eager to do more figurative painting!

Lots of work on a very cool secret project to start tomorrow - can't wait to tell you all about it!

50-Word Poems - My first attempt

There are a lot of blogs of 50-word stories. I heart these so badly, but i'm going to try 50-word poems instead - poems are what i lean towards anyway. Would you like to try this? It might be fun to start a 50-word poem blog...if you're interested, let me know! This is my first attempt, just for fun!!

There are no vampire love letters

Inside his book is the

frail flower,

petals sheer from

hundreds of quiet years.

thrown to him

before her deathlessness.

Now sent back in a blank letter,

it rests in her

delicate hands.

She breathes deeply and,

with heavy heart

understands the message.

"you have left me.

All is lost."

the moon is full and round
