Red flowers

January chill has finally arrived
in Middle Earth.
It takes me many moments of contemplation to arrange all of my layers,
top and bottom
to stay warm and toasty.
My holiday rampage of cleaning has led me to take a look
at my recent paintings
and I have decided
I am very RED.
Perhaps I want to warm the studio a bit,
or the red oriental rug
speaks too loudly to be ignored.
My furry studio assistant seems to agree.

Even my wise women seem to enjoy being Red Queens
of some sort or another.



I obviously dream in reds and golds
when winter's chill is present.
I think I'll just stay in these warm cozy colors
until springtime breathes me a new palette.
