"Soul Unraveiling"
watercolor
8"x12"
8x12 inch paper. The left side of the paper is blank (all while). The right side has a mostly circular design of blue watercolor that has a melting effect . The paint sort of evaporates off the paper all around the central spot of blue. There is a touch of black and red on the edges.

Light as a Feather
A single brown feather resting on undisturbed light brown sand with a long shadow reaching foward. The rising sun is suggested by the yellow/golden tones in the sky over the ocean. Big puffy gray/white clouds up top.

In December

I will be

a baubled bangled

Christmas tree

with soup bowls

draped all over me.

Merry once

merry twice

merry chicken soup

with rice.

In November’s

gusty gale

I will flop my flippy tail

and spout hot soup.

I’ll be a whale!

Spouting once

spouting twice

spouting chicken soup

with rice.
