Avalanche - a lesson in children’s painting

"Make the children laugh and play,

before their time to grow old.

Make them paint with the grownups,

in unity of one world. " avr

 Dr Abe V Roor

Avalanche (2’ x 3’) by Jhonna Ragasa 15, with the author as tutor. 2016

Make it far and distant in perspective,

its foreground dark and bold;

Make the rocks heavy and solid, hang

before they fall and move;

Make the sky blue, the mountains, too,

the water clear and cold;

Make the river roar into a cascade,

as it was in a story told;

Make the story like Hawthorne’s fiction,

loved by the young and old;

Make the sky meet the land, the river

flow seaward through every fold;

Make the children laugh and play,

before their time to grow old.

Make them paint with the grownups,

in unity of one world. ~
