Silver Mettle
Transparent Watercolours
20" x 28" on Arches 300 lb

Never mind what I am wearing,
My mind is cool as a ball bearing.
I am older, graying, but come close and see,
Despite these laugh lines, shine a light on me.
There is beauty within, you don’t know me well.
But oh, do I ever have stories to tell.
