WARMING HER WINGS (2012)
Acrylic on Panel - 11" x 14"

In fall, the sun sets on the west side of our property to shine through the trees. On a humid day, the light seems suspended in the thick air, spreading against the dark shapes of the trees, fanning golden brilliance across the green lawn. 1/4

Flagstones set loosely in a grassy hill amble down to the wall of castle ruins built of uneven stone. An opening, like the vertical slit of a cat's pupil, provides a view down to a verdant field ending in dense darker woods followed by placid water. Light glints over the surface and filters through the eyelet set in the wall bathing gold blades of wild growing grass. In that line of light, a butterfly spreads yellow and black wings wide to catch rays on one of the smaller stones on the path.
