There's a Pink Thing in my Hair

Hanging Out on the Edge of the Abyss
The life of an artist
is intense and immense;
You struggle and chortal and
piffle and fence.
All the bulbs lighted are
downstairs from you
And no shade is bebaubled for your
glass of dark hue.
So with quirky impatience and
unreasonable spark
You don your best armbands and
climb out of the dark
To contemplate navels and
zeroes and such
Seeing vast vistas with your
singular touch
There’s nothing to guide you, the
bear’s still asleep,
The sky waves unending and the
grass is too deep.
Yet you find yourself glowing with a
strange kind of bliss
Hanging out on the edge of
life’s great abyss.

On the Edge of the Abyss
(did the poem -- see left -- come first or the painting? inspired by Theodore Giesel's "other" art, and fellow artists) 

10 x 15 (matted 15 x 20)

alabaster blue mat
$130

    All watercolors are originals and no prints have been made of them. Painting are shipped matted and ready for framing. Except where noted, mats are white or off-white, and both mat and backing board are 100% cotton, archival museum board material. A few early works are matted with quality acid-free matboard with backboard of acid free foamcore.

    If you are in our area (central Upper Peninsula of Michigan) we may be able to meet with you to deliver artwork. In that case, paintings may be available already framed and glazed with glass, ready for hanging.

    All work is 100% guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with a piece when you receive it, you can return it to us in original condition, packed carefully as it was shipped to you via insured UPS within seven days for a full refund.
