"Hemispheres"
as if for a brush - when she laid paint on paper in 93
open the oxy hand reaches………….
then the delicacy of paint washed over the surface with a tangible patina
soft her consummate touch where one layer separated from the others
to create a rich texture
a reference to life’s experiences
numb to the inquiring mind but open to a sensitive heart
where the image floated in a defined dark background
where she engaged the creative force within
and the Tao without
where the hand held the brush like a dear one’s heart
and paint flowed as if from a sacred spring
now
an age on in a new hemisphere - one hand on her heart
the other open reaches in nights dark veil of near subconscious ….
expectant of a touch across the distance of one sphere to the distant other
a touch from a from a speeding spirit
missed her hand touched her brow
she did feel it
for just a second - the hemispheres collided
For Tess 04 Thanks for the wonderful painting
