The Red Dress Regalia Waning spirits sigh, the roaring ocean calls Her playground, the coolest place ever Dressed in flamboyant ruffled regalia Fiery guitar scales in the background strum Drumbeats from her hammering heals Scuff marks adorn the wooden boards that her father laid down for her floor

Dear I Am Anaya, I am enthralled with the vibrant imagery of your poem. I adore the emotional beauty of this piece and the flemenco dance you elude to.. “drumbeats from her hammering heels”, love it! And I love the use of the word “regalia” as well. An exquisite poem and painting. Your artistry, either with pen or brush, is both meaningful and beautiful. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Susan, a belated thank you for your generous and warm remarks! My aim was to post an engaging whimsicality, in painting and verse, of a reunion with my father. I was inspired by Henri Matisse's "The Red Room." I am glad you enjoyed...Blessings ~Anaya

Such priceless treasures for a lasting keepsake during your precious moments with your loving Dad who was so proud of you. Thanks a lot for sharing. Hugging them and you. Happy Father's Day to your Dad. God bless you more always. More Blessings to your golden pens and brushes too. Hugs..hugs...

A beautiful folkloric depiction in both painting and verse, your father must have been so proud. Robert
