for Jeanne

Lobster buoys
heaped on a dock
in melting snow,
bright bands of
red, green, yellow,
tangled lines,
high tide,
an American flag
hanging motionless,
March sunshine.
"A good painting,"
Jeanne said, "but
you could get lost
in the detail … "
the beautiful ends of rope,
the chipped paint.

Notes

• I replaced the comments section with blog software that is easier to use. I'm leaving for an extended trip (first stop, Thailand) in June and will report back via the blog.
•  
• The On Coffee collaboration exhibited at Addison Wooley Gallery during August can be seen on the events page. The show was a success.
•  
• Also of note: one of Victor's pieces was chosen by The Farnsworth Museum in Rockland for their permanent collection.
