Under the rising sun
there is enough
coolness
drifting
off the grove
to calm
my anger
and yours.
Artwork: 2.5 x 3.5 inches - shimmery water colors, pen and colored pencil.
This is my 10ish minute interpretation of one of my town's orange groves from bird's-eye view.
I drew and outlined with my left hand: colored and painted quickly with my right.
The words came to me on my walk this morning. I was thinking of hidden anger in me, and in a friend. The air. Cool. The sun. Warm. But walk by an orange grove and the deep coolness wafting out is heavenly! I created the image as soon as I returned home.
