Ubiquitous Smiles

Pastel panels of color, like cobbled bricks of sunlight pave the walk with abstract art. And the artist's brilliant brush encapsulates a hallmark moment, where beauty prevails. Oranges and blues commingle, as a mix of sun and sea collaborate on each hue. Its familiarity warrants a much closer look, drawing you into the scene. Canopies of skittish leaves, cast mobile freckles of shade amidst beams of dancing light. Nostalgia paints pleasantries long thought to be forgotten, and restores their enchantment. And placidity’s achieved, amidst the sounds of laughter and the ubiquitous smiles. (Verse) 2/20/2015

Hi Emile! I searched for Joe's Corner, and I find that you were well inspired. The picture reminds me also of Butler's Strawberry Patch. The colours spring out; I can understand why 'nostalgia' springs to mind. #7 // paul

This is fantastic! The images are great throughout but they really come alive in the "canopies of skittish leaves..."
