Wallet Fine Art - Monet's Woman with a Parasol – Jules Enchanting Gifts

My mother’s the wind in the fields of gold. Cloud cover, her verdant parasol, optimistically high. A capped child am I, and a small wittled sigh, Before either one of us become very old. Tall weeds are my pants, cerulean sky my shirt. My mother’s long skirt with cyclone folds. Like time passing, her cloud-countenance unscrolled. We share a faraway look as the impish day flirts. Does God capture such natural poses as ours? Do angel fingers flutter through our family album? Do these familiar winged creatures fancy the plum of our faces, sunkissed or coldnipped by the stars? 7/16/2020

"Does God capture such natural poses as ours?" I do believe He has now, Kim. Through your pen.

I love the Monet, and how you have brought it to life with musings of the wind and all the other elements of the painting. Enjoyed how you cleverly personified the wind and clouds, weeds and sky. 'The impish day flirts'. Big smile. ~ John
