Hush of Firs

8” x 8” artwork

12” x 12” framed

Acrylic, gouache, and colored pencil on St. Mary’s cotton canvas, framed in pine

Under the hush of firs

are my gardens

darkened and damp from 

rains that plunge

out of a sky heavy with ocean

that choppy mirror clacking across the downs

baptizing the earth

again and again

A view of my garden in the evening in coastal Washington. This piece is part of my collection “Cardinal Spring” that will be available for purchase at Nahcotta gallery on Aug. 24, 2023.
