"Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door." -
Emily Dickinson
Laurence and his Red Sky, 2021
"When the sky is red to a child,
it's dawn, prelude to sunrise;
it's a happy world indeed:
clouds on wispy trail,
the sun rising with the hill,
trees in silhouettes
bearing the fireflies still in their crown;
"The scene is more of the sky,
free, vast, boundless -
all these emanating from pure,
innocent mind of a child artist." avr
"It's nighttime, the red sky is down,
darkness soon engulfs the scene,
the wispy clouds hand on,
now with a crescent moon,
a child seated fishing the wispy clouds
turned fish in his imagination;
"The trees still in silhouettes have grown
before the oncoming darkness -
soon nighttime takes over;
to a child artist this is peace, calm."
"Toys too, find rest in the night,
in the sleeping child,
losing their art and purpose
until the child is no more a child
but an artist ready to face the world,
the world of both artist and man."
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
– Edgar Degas. ~
