Yellow Flowers In a Vase
(Still Life with Yellow Roses) The flowers sit on the table in the corner In front of the windowWith the shades drawnThe colors of the flowers reflect off the off white curtain creating an aura around each bloomThough that could be due as much to my not having my glasses as to the reflection ofContinue reading “Yellow Flowers In a Vase”

Remembering In The Rain
The rains fall from the clouds adding to the late summer humidity rather than easing it.
