Sunny Narcissus

The Narcissus have smiled. 
They must call it a day. 
Time in the sun is over.
Let the other flowers shine.

Purple Rain, painting, Bohoy

I didn't plan on painting purple rain. 
Coming home, as I drove around the curve, people were walking up the college hill. It was pouring gray. With an umbrella rainbow- red, yellow, orange, green and blue- but it needed purple. 
So... purple rain it became. 

" Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain"
Prince

Patiently waiting for Spring, Bohoy

Keep the faith.

Hats and sweaters, and jackets on hand.

Even Fido burrows in sand.

We wait... patiently,
stoically, hopefully.

For spring's coming.

Later, better than never.

(FYI- for those in other places-- in New England it's still snowing and cold.)

Deer Camouflage

On a snow canvas, 

trees paint the shadows: 

Horizontal swooshes. 

Curves up a hill. 

Blankets of blue and purple and gray.

Nature's final 'painting'- 

a camouflage for deer.

I started this painting last year in the midst of our 110" inches of snowfalls but thought better of finishing it and sending it out. The recipients had had enough snow. With hardly any snow this year [so far] I finished it.
