There Was a Valley Meadow Resting There

There Was A Valley Meadow Resting There There was a valley meadow resting there, plant life flourishing in its golden views. Painted on canvas brings awe inspired stare marveling at multi-colored hues. Dancing beneath a decorated sky, were vivid colors bouncing back and forth. Artist, image, soft colors blend to tie with clouds breezing above from the cold North. Captured beauty, splashed on by artist's paints, breathlessness in its tantalizing scenes, paradise complete yet where are the saints praising it by any and every means? Splashed canvas held scenes of grass and flowers. We gasp at all those colored showers! Robert J.
