*Standing Mother And Child* 4 1/8" H X 3 3/8" W X 3"D * Pine Base
Forget
The
Day
And
Sleep.
The
Time
To
Weep
In
Futile
Sorrow
Will
Come
Tomorrow,
If
Weep
We
Must.
Leave
Loss
Aside
And
Ride
A
Dream
Of
Peace
And
Blessed
Rest,
Until
Once
More
Again
We
Rise
Above
Our
Pain.

*Stone Angel* Carved Desert Alabaster 15 1/2" H 46 Pounds
It
Is
A
Thing
That
Must
Be
Done
Alone,
To
Find
The
Figure
Hidden
Within
The
Stone.
A
Solitary
Task,
Suited
Up
To
Take
The
Blast
Of
Dust,
In
Goggles
And
A
Must,
The
Tiresome
Respirator
To
Save
My
Lungs.
And
There
She
Was,
The
Humble
Torso
Unsung,
Unfinished,
And
Yet,
I Took
It
As
Far
As
I Could
Get.

*Picasso*
To
The
East,
Light
Thickens
As
If
Approaching
Night.
Nature
Has
Ways
To
Catch
Mankind’s
Attention,
Fires
And
Floods,
Not
To
Mention
Volcanoes
That
Spew,
Earthquakes
And
Now,
A
New
Disease
Has
Come
To
Call,
Aiming
To
Wipe
Out
One
And
All.
Presently,
A
Cloud
Of
Thick
Sahara
Sand
And
Dust
Is
Coming
To
Settle
In
A
Dismal
Crust,
To
Mix
Life
Up
Like
A
Stew,
And
There’s
Absolutely
Nothing
We
Can
Do.

*Black Friar Plums* 16" H X 20" W Acrylic On Canvas
A
Pitiless
Division,
Knife
Cut
With
Precision,
Divides
The
Perfect
Fruit.
The
Pale
Meat
Is
Firm
And
Tartly
Sweet.
The
Seed,
A
Flattened,
Nutlike
Thing,
Does
Not
Cling,
And
Holding
It
Over
A
Cup,
I Eat
It
Up.

*Reclining Nude* 16" H X 20" W Oil On Linen
Defiant
Not
To
Be
Life’s
Client,
My
Impulse
Was
To
Be
Free,
Deny
Every
Confine
Of
Society
And
Make
It
Fit
My
Wily
Style.
For
Years
I Existed
On
A
Smile
And
A
Strong
Back
To
Make
Up
For
What
I Lacked.
Funny
How
I Was
Mistaken
About
The
Truth,
Trampled
Somewhere
In
My
Heedless
Youth,
But
Now
I Can
See
I Painted
The
Timeless
Secrets
Into
The
Present
Me.

*Family 2* Brass, Steel & Bronze *Walnut Base* 9 3/8" H
The
Salary,
Whereof
Was
But
Small,
I Quit
The
Bank
And
Left
It
All,
To
Marry
And
Domesticate
With
A
Headlong,
Reckless,
Mate,
An
Irish
Dreamer
Full
Of
Charm,
And
On
His
Arm
Crashed
Into
Life,
Myself
As
Wife.
Soon
Joined
By
A
Perfectly
Wild,
Precious
Child,
We
Did
Our
Level
Best,
And
Well,
You
Know
The
Rest.

*Michelangelo* Last Judgement * Detail
I’d
Write
About
The
Passing
Scene,
But
Honey,
Its
Gotten
Too
Damn
Mean.
Hard
To
Make
A
Jolly
Rhyme
In
Such
A
Desperate
Time.
A
Madman
Is
At
The
Helm,
Destroying
Daily
Our
Little
Realm,
And
Threats
Arise
The
Sun
May
Fall
Down
From
The
Skies,
And
For
A
Lark,
Leave
Us
Poor
Fools
In
The
Dark.
Press
On,
Neighbors,
What
Else
Can
We
Do?
It
All
Comes
Down
To
Me
And
You
To
Somehow
Struggle
Through.

Fairy
Tales
Find
A
Way
To
Say
What
We
Yearn
To
Believe,
That
Any
Day
Our
Prince
Will
Come
And
Life
Will
Cease
To
Be
Humdrum.
That
Beauty
And
Grace
Dwell
In
An
Imagined
Place,
Far
From
Daily
Chores
And
A
Host
Of
Tiresome
Bores.
In
Our
Dreams
It
Seems
We
Take
The
Rainbow
Road
To,
With
A
Kiss,
Fulfill
Our
Wish
And
Reveal
A
Handsome
Lover
Within
A
Warty
Toad.

*Relic 2* 30" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas
Buried
Deep,
Relics
Sleep,
Fragments
Of
The
Past
Linger
Until
The
Last
Battle
Horn
Sounds,
And
Warrior
Memories
Of
Youth
Are
Taken
From
The
Ground.
What
Remains
Of
Uncharted
Pains,
Cannot
Be
Seen,
And
The
Green
Verdure
Where
They
Lay
Is
Exposed
To
The
Light
Of
Present
Day,
Too
Late
For
Tears
That
Cannot
Bridge
The
Years.

*Christian Schloe*
Wow!
Can’t
Tell
You
How,
Haven’t
A
Moment
Now,
Though
I Can
Swear
I Have
A
Lot
To
Share,
But
Hey,
I’m
Late,
It
Will
Have
To
Wait,
Don’t
Take
It
Wrong,
So
Long!
