Friendship5x7 cyanotype, watercolor and pencil on 140lb watercolor paper. Artist signature on front. Framed in a 11x14 composite frame, with an archival textured matte board. This piece was dyed in the sun, bathed in water, painted on, drawn on, and carefully sealed with wax. This piece is what started the sub theme of Golden Threads in the Sustain Me collection. In the foreground you see the threads come together as if theyre doing a dance. Each thread

in a cyclical deconstruction

I chose to paint the Rose in watercolor

The vessel represents me

God Breathed

The flowers of the month for May are the Lily of the Valley and the Hawthorne

and in that glow

This body of work is a promise of hope that despite the present darkness and depth of the unknown

Pink at Last Story: Our house is set on a hill and a few times a week the most beautiful sunsets fill the sky with hues of cotton candy sorbet

but it is also textured

I almost left it out of the series—but over time

one pastel on cyanotype and one abstract watercolor

we begin to have hope as the days become lighter
