  • Paintings and poem.

    My recent paintings

    Michel Fuquet had asked that I show some of the paintings of the flowers from my garden. Here are a couple with sunflowers, poppy and a peony. The others were random things of a sunset, a Venetian suburb and reflections of the clouds in water.

    Last week I was in California, visiting family and friends. Went to the Monterey Peninsula on Monday. As we were walking along the side of the ocean, and saw this home with beautiful stones in the front yard, balancing one on the other. I touched my soul. Sat on the bench and wrote this poem. It had been a while since I had written a love poem.

    BALANCE.

    This balance—–between your love, and my love,
    rocks of ages, still and serene, telling me,
    “we are light, we are feathers..
    suspended with our will– as one,
    against intrusion~~
    just in perfect balance, in peace
    In love, you and me!

  • Now you are an artist, as well as a poet. Monterey is a beautiful place. Of course, I've always loved the ocean, especially the Pacific. We used to have poppies in our yard, before we built the new house. I tried to dig them up and transplant them, but that didn't work.

  • Wow. I love the poppy and the sunset!! The poem is a delight as well!

  • Beautiful, Dr. Z.! Descriptions using words (word paintings) and now with paint and brushes and doing it extremely well indeed!
