Ahhh this is absolutely gorgeous’ !!! One of my fave paintings from you sweet linnersz, and youv described it so well in the form of nonet! Your wordplay and how your lines flow from to another is stunning and seamless. I especially love “ signed and framed without illusions” whoa! How beautiful! You always amaze me with how you weave words and also how you paint! Theres a soft gentle elegance which resembles your heart! Sending you light always

My brushes have painted over some paintings that weren't so feather friendly. Thank you ever so much for your kind thoughts, John.

WOW!!! What a lovely write/painting you have here. I enjoyed both very much. I wish, I was the lady in your painting with my feet in the cool water. I love the beach and miss it so much. "Good Luck" We both did the wonderful contest. Have a fun day writing/painting away............

Many thanks, Paula. I'm not a beach person... at least not to lay in the sun, but I DO love walking the shore and looking for sea glass and shells. I painted this one years ago and imagined I was the lady... in a rather gloomy mood.
