"Breathless" #1098. Original refractured watercolor. 32"x32" on wraparound panel, 1" deep. $1,500. | |
Yet another breathtaking moment before the sun comes up over the Salton Sea. The following poem is also painted into the painting | |
"Breathless". | |
We oft forget the power in the air | |
until the moment that it is denied; | |
then we recall the instant we first cried | |
and know that our next gasp's without compare. | |
We often curse the wind that whips us clean | |
as blowing us and all our things away; | |
we fear trees that will fall instead of sway | |
and rarely stop to think this storm will mean | |
there is a reason behind the sky that raged | |
with passion, then left softness in its wake | |
with pastel colors reflected in the lake, | |
and recognize our lives are somehow changed. | |
At sunset or at dawn, then we can say | |
This was a day that took our breath away. | |
