She Waits

In deep thought she stands waiting for someone unknown.
Today she will meet him, her knight in shining armor who will
take her away to a place far from here. She knows he will have olive
toned skin and dark trusses of hair but will he be kind and polite, or will
he be forboding and have a dark side?

Safe Harbor




Safe Harbor
Sitting in the harbor are two shrimp boats. Safe from the devastation of the
recent oil spill. These two boats are in still water with only ripples from the current gently
swaying them ever so slightly. They won't shrimp today.
Today is a day of leisure, a day for their owners to
spend time with their families a day spent in safe harbor.
Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas 18x24.
This painting is sold. JC Morgan Art Gallery
Thanks to Sally Evans for naming the boats.

Like Mother Like Daughter

Like Mother Like Daughter
From a small child she learned to dance. Her teacher was her mom.
Today is the festival. Carefully she dons her beautiful outfit, each bangle and strand
sewn by the hands of her mom. Today is a special day, today is the day she will
dance among the crowd with her mother. Her hair is gray, her footsteps a little slower
but as the music begins and the sound of the tamborine jingles, she feel young again even if only for a little while

As shoppers pass by, this little boy is almost unnoticed. He looks around through

Intimate Dance

Intimate Dance
The dance floor is full but they don't seem to notice for tonight is

as her heart pounds against the crispness of his shirt.

In Everything There is a Season

In Everything There is a Season
Out in the woods, away for the hustle and bustle of traffic is peace and quiet. A place of harmony with ones self and with nature. When you listen to the wind as it wisp gently through the trees and then hear the faint sound of a babbling brook you can settle in and think of the important things in life, like family and friendship and love.

Belly Dancer

Belly Dancer
She walks down the street on a sulky hot day her skin moist under the afternoon sun. By standers watches as she slowly walks to the center of the road.
Then as she snaps her fingers to a beat that starts out slow and quickly excels to a rapid rhythm the crowd joins in and the dance continues as hips swirl and trinkets jingle.
So is the life of a Belly Dancer.
