    Inspired by excerpts from "The Late Wisconsin Spring" by John Koethe

    "April brings, between the isolation and the flowers.

    Now the clouds are lighter, the branches are frosted green,

    And suddenly the season that had seemed so tentative before

    Becomes immediate, so clear the heart breaks and the vibrant

    Air is laced with crystal wires leading back from hell."

    Inspired by excerpts from the poem "A Perfect Shade of Blue" by Gainor Ventresco


    It’s a Mediterranean blue spilling from my heart

    filling me up

    Cool, deep, fathomless

    between light and dark

    a perfect shade of blue

    to call my own

    sunsets orange dazzle...

    Inspired by excerpts from the poem "A Perfect Shade of Blue" by Gainor Ventresco


    Somewhere between the light and the dark

    having cried, but not all of my tears

    I found a shade of blue to call my own

    Vibrant lemon yellows,

    the green of Sicilian olives,

    sunsets orange dazzle...

    A playful composition focusing on magenta. Accents of green pop in like little celebrations of contrasting color and light.
