in summer
between the waves of heat
cool dirt upon my toes

digging in the garden
flowers flourish
as dancing swabs of color

woven baskets
and ribbons of children
pasting petals on paper

joy is crafting moonlight
memories for stillness
in a twilight landscape

This painting was created on a gallery wrapped canvas in oils and is a signed original. It is currently available for purchase. Contact me at cmartzloffart@gmail.com for more information.  * Note the frame is for suggestion only. Thank you! Catherine
