It’s casting a shadow on yours. We both cut a line across a golden floor. Hmm, you would like me to remove your blank expression. Sorry, my palette is empty.Rest on your easel, just a while more.

Read excerpt

There seems to be a dam somewhere between my mind and my eyes. Not even a nap was achieved with any success.Lately, the idea of collage has been bouncing around my brain.
