A poem to share from my Pasadena TX high school classmate. It feels good and appropriate for the beginning of summer. Enjoy!

Dappling Shadows 

by barb wiatrak young

Dappling shadows dance the trail,

In the woodlands magic deep...

Rocky roads are winding round

To mountains stern and steep...

The endless song of leafy bower,

Touched by the perfumed breeze..

Echo soft in mystic vale

Where uncounted blossoms tease..

The brooklet goes its merry way

So crystal clear and cold...

Bubbling over rock and fern.

A story ageless, old..

The conversations of the larks

Falls in cadence clear

A pristine fairyland of peace

Is this enchanted sphere...

Only sounds of nature

Hold the spell of forest green

Where spruce, and pine and aspen gold

Paint this lovely scene..

From the master artist..

All that’s painted here

Shows the handiwork of God

So verdantly and clear.....

Enjoy your Summer!

BoldBrush May Entry

You can tell I am running just a little late with this posting. However I did hit my mark with my BoldBrush placement - second image on the first line. As usual, the link is provided for you to experience the diversification of art entered for the month of May.

My May selection is another one of my animal portrait pencil drawings. Bandit is a Dallas Texas dog show trial Dobe with a long ear cut. Just in case a Dobe owner might think I mixed him up with a Great Dane, no I didn't. As a trail dog he is large and very muscular. His ears fit his size very nicely. He was a joy to meet. My pencil drawing captures his attitude and personality.
