Settled And Cloaked


A gossamer veil of wind, snow and light
Settled and cloaked in crystal strokes of white
So delicate be these touches sparkling and pristine
Winter treasure now ours ever in memory seen.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

very nice...though i wish the painter would use a little less white and let us get on to spring...smiles.

Hi RoseMArie-

and so Spring is happening quite a ways from home in this image of distant promises and hope not yet realized. It is good though because it is seen, there is light and warmth - the journey is just that, the journey, ever so long yet over in a moments blink of an eye.

Love to you
Gail
peace.....

Brian, Considering how much fun and frolic the snow and wind have been offering you, I did not think you were in a hurry for the next season to come.

Gail, there is such delight in the pause you offer with each of your comments. I so appreciate the depth of your considerations and expressions. Much much love to you dear friend.
