Bursting with Joy

Bursting with Joy

5 x 4.5 ins.

watercolor, gouache — acid-free board

August, 2011

I've been sorting through my studio flat files—Spring Cleaning. What a joy to uncover all sorts of colorful artwork about which I forgot. 

I painted Bursting with Joy while sitting amidst the rows of cut-your-own flowers at Rosaly's Garden in Peterborough, New Hampshire. 

Like joy, the colors Burst.

Like a crumb before a little bird, 

I could not resist this drawing challenge.

Named after Emily Dickinson, I hold

her poetry like a sibling at my side.

This stirring—

 turmoil below

within

the eb and flow

a push and pull

will find its 

natural course

in time.
