The Purple Cape
Watercolor, charcoal, and graphite, 11″ x 14″, 1995
Remember
Powerful hands
Knowing glances
Security is the small child’s
Freedom to go out
Sure that they’ll be there
When the tiny prodigal returns.
The Gold Buckle
Watercolor, charcoal and graphite, 9″ x 12″, 1995
A man looks down to see it
The boy looks up
The man sees an invitation
The boy sees a wall
The men see eyes downcast
The boy sees Athena
Woman with Pony Tail
Ink, graphite and watercolor on paper, 10″ x 14″
Ever notice that models
look ten feet high?
Women look that way to boys
We look one another in the eyes
While little boys look
Little women buy Mademoiselle
