Deep Summer

Returning home after a month

of engaged conversations. 

Trying to find my way back to the studio

and the solo voice. 

Drawn to the beauty of the tight and closed in -

and then the beauty of opening . . . 

June on Nantucket

Opening up the family cottage, 

surrounded by memories of my parents. 

In the midst of all the tasks 

I make it to the sketchbook 

only for moments. 

Back home in the rush of my life, 

I slow down - 

painting these pages.
