*The Noon Table* 48" H X 36" W Oil On Linen

Lunch

Pausing
In
The
Day,
The
Model
Looks
Away,
As
Absent
Now
From
Rush,
I clean
My
Brush.
The
Canvas
On
The
Wall
Holds
Her
In
Thrall,
Pink
Flowers
In
Hand
As
She
Seeks
To
Understand
The
Distance
That
I see,
That
No
One
Knows
But
Me.

*The Swimmers* Oil On Linen 64" H X 48" W

The Swimmers

Two
Ladies,
Not
From
Art
School,
But
From
The
Swimming
Pool.
Athletes
In
Racing
Meets,
Cutting
Through
The
Waters
Like
Neptune’s
Daughters.
Paddling
Slow
And
Shy,
I Watched
As
They
Sped
By,
But
I painted
Them,
Naked
And
Haughty,
Arrogant
And
Naughty.

*Reclining Nude 2: The Indian Girl 36" H X 72" W Oil On Linen

Mary

Mary,
Under
Desert
Skies,
Native
Girl,
Worldly
Wise.
Her
Ambition:
Maintain
Tradition.
In
Her
Hatband,
The
Feather
Of
An
Eagle,
In
Her
Mind,
Nothing
Legal.
With
Moccasins
And
Turquoise
Beads,
Mary
Satisfies
Her
Needs.
These
Days,
She
Lives
In
Santa
Fe,
And
Paints
The
Mountain
Every
Day.

*The Blue Hat* 36" H X 30" W Acrylic On Canvas

Yolanda

Sweet
Yolanda,
Brooklyn
Child,
Soft
Of
Voice,
In
Manner
Mild,
Lawyer’s
Daughter
And
A
Potter.
She
Made
Plates
And
Bowls
And
Vases,
Sometimes
Graced
With
Funny
Faces.
I often
Wonder,
Where’s
Yolanda?
In
This
Painting
You
Can
See
How
Kind
Yolanda
Was
To
Me,
To
Pose
Without
Her
Potter’s
Clothes.

*The Good Soldier* 36" H X 36" W Oil On Linen

Bella

Sad
Bella,
Artist’s
Model,
Lived
Life
At
Full
Throttle.
Bella,
Suited
As
A
Muse,
Had
Two
Lovers,
But
Couldn’t
Choose.
One
A
Painter,
One
Carved
Stone,
Neither
Would
Leave
Her
Alone.
Bella
Drifted
Off
At
Last,
Leaving
Both
In
The
Past,
Including
Us,
All
Without
A
Bit
Of
Fuss.
Little
More
To
Say
Of
That,
Here
Is
Bella,
In
Her
Hat.

Rose

Haughty
Rose,
Naughty
Rose,
New
York
City
Girl,
Heroine
Of
The
Social
Whirl.
Fellow
Painter
Without
Fatigue
At
The
Art
Student’s
League.
Left
The
City
After
A
Season
For
Some
Obscure
Reason,
Folded
Her
Easel
And
Ran
Off
With
An
Italian
Weasel.
Rose,
Rose,
What
Happened
Next,
Nobody
Knows.

*Karen 2* 10" H X 8" W Acrylic On Canvas

Karen

Pretty
Karen,
Song
Singer,
But
Not
For
Long,
Would
Not
Linger,
Lovers
At
The
Crook
Of
Finger.
Darling
Karen,
Out
For
Fun,
Quick
To
Run
Fast
Away,
Singing,
Singing,
Night
And
Day.
Left
To
Play,
Europe
Bound
With
Her
Sound.
Cursed
By
Drink,
Lost
To
Fame,
Failed
To
Think,
What
A
Shame.

*Norma* 12" H X 9" W Acrylic On Canvas

Norma

He
Came
And
Went,
Syrup
Sweet,
Heaven
Sent,
And
For
A
Start
Broke
My
Eager
Heart,
Then
Pasted
It
Before
Once
More,
He
Wasted
It.
Did
I care
That
He
Could
Never
Share
The
Love
I scattered
Everywhere?
Sure,
I did,
But
He
Was
Gone,
And
I moved
On.

Rainstorm

High
Winds
Blow
Around
The
Mountain
From
Santa
Fe,
Tearing
Tree
Limbs
Away,
Scattering
Flower
Petals,
Banging
The
Iron
Gate
Metal
To
Metal.
I stand
And
Stare
As
A
Thousand
Elm
Leaves
Fill
The
Air.
The
Gale
Turns
West
To
South
And
I taste
Dust
In
My
Mouth.
Then,
Ending
The
Day,
The
Sudden
Downpour.
I turn
Away,
And
Shut
The
Door.

Just
In
Time
For
Back
To
School,
The
Weather
Has
Turned
Remarkably
Cool.
The
Temperature
Dropped
Thirty
Degrees,
Leaving
Me
With
Chilly
Knees.
No
More
Shorts.
Dear
Sports,
It’s
Pants
And
Please,
Shut
That
Door.
Today,
Summer
Is
No
More.
