The Show Is Over...
In my "Still Life' compositions i juxtapose objects, colors and light in an effort to create and tell the story. There is always a story of human life behind the objects, and telling a story is always my goal. Now, imagine the bedroom of actress after the performance.......

Reading Time.
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." - Charles W. Eliot.
The Night of Reading.
"Let books be your dining table And you shall be full of delights. Let them be your mattress And you shall sleep restfull nights." - Author Unknown..
Games of Imagination.
"The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact." ~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595 "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein.
Spring Madness.
"In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head." Emma Racine deFleur "If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall." Nadine Stair.
Love and Death.
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death” Robert Fulghum "Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight." - Rossiter Worthington Raymond..
Fantasy Date.
“Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.” Barbara Grizzuti Harrison "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a nessesary ingridient in living" Dr. Seuss.
Scent of A Woman.
"O woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men; these are ever endowing you with beauty from their hearts. Poets are weaving for you a web with threads of golden imagery; painters are giving your form ever new immortality. The sea gives its pearls, the mines their gold, the summer gardens their flowers to deck you, to cover you, to make you more precious. The desire of men's hearts has shed its glory over your youth. You are one half woman and one half dream. " The Gardener LIX: O Woman by Rabindranath Tagore.
Imagination At Work.
"There is a dish to hold the sea, A brazier to contain the sun, A compass for the galaxy, A voice to wake the dead and done! That minister of ministers, Imagination, gathers up The undiscovered Universe, Like jewels in a jasper cup. Its flame can mingle north and south; Its accent with the thunder strive; The ruddy sentence of its mouth Can make the ancient dead alive. The mart of power, the fount of will, The form and mould of every star, The source and bound of good and ill, The key of all the things that are, Imagination, new and strange In every age, can turn the year; Can shift the poles and lightly change The mood of men, the world's career." "Imagination" by John Davidson.
Gardens of The Night.
"My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In the gardens of the night: My desire and thy desire Twinning to a tongue of fire, Leaping live, and laughing higher; Thro' the everlasting strife In the mystery of life. Love, from whom the world begun, Hath the secret of the sun..." " My delight and thy delight " by Robert Bridges.
Touch of Love
"I want more lives in which to love This world so full of beauty, I want more days to use the ways I know of doing duty; I ask no greater joy than this (So much I am life's lover,) When I reach age to turn the page And read the story over, (Oh love stay near!) Oh rapturous promise of the Spring! Oh June fulfilling after! If Autumns sigh, when Summers die, 'Tis drowned in Winter's laughter. Oh maiden dawns, oh wifely noons, Oh siren sweet, sweet nights, I'd want no heaven could earth be given Again with its delights, (If love stayed near!) There are such glories for the eye, Such pleasures for the ear, The senses reel with all they feel And see and taste and hear; There are such ways of doing good, Such ways of being kind, And bread that's cast on waters fast Comes home again, I find. (Oh love stay near.)" Ella Wheller Wilcox (American Author and Poet, 1850-1919).
The Art of Poetry.
"Gently make haste, of Labour not afraid; A hundred times consider what you've said: Polish, repolish, every Colour lay, And sometimes add; but oft'ner take away. 'Tis not enough, when swarming Faults are writ, That here and there are scattered Sparks of Wit; Each Object must be fix'd in the due place, And diff'ring parts have Corresponding Grace: 'Till, by a curious Art dispos'd, we find One perfect whole, of all the pieces join'd. Keep your subject close, in all you say; Nor for a sounding Sentence ever stray." "The Art of Poetry" [excerpt] by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636 - 1711, French poet and critic).
Beyond the Years.
"Beyond the years the answer lies, Beyond where brood the grieving skies And Night drops tears. Where Faith rod-chastened smiles to rise And doff its fears, And carping Sorrow pines and dies— Beyond the years. Beyond the years the soul shall find That endless peace for which it pined, For light appears, And to the eyes that still were blind With blood and tears, Their sight shall come all unconfined Beyond the years." "Beyond the Years" by Paul Laurence Dunhar.
Ode to Color.
"What is pink? a rose is pink By a fountain's brink. What is red? a poppy's red In its barley bed. What is blue? the sky is blue Where the clouds float thro'. What is white? a swan is white Sailing in the light. What is yellow? pears are yellow, Rich and ripe and mellow. What is green? the grass is green, With small flowers between. What is violet? clouds are violet In the summer twilight. What is orange? Why, an orange, Just an orange! " "Color" by Christina Rosetti..
