Hands mixing neutral shades as brushstrokes form etches of life’s vignettes in washed-out tones, Reflecting grim shadows doused by night’s ash Where black white hints Trail along Fingers Stained. Grief In oil Expressing Artist's lament Through paint of tears which words cannot portray. Contest NO 85 for Briand Strand
