open skies

$64.00

Medium: Mixed media (acrylic, gouache) on raw canvas

Dimensions: 8 X 8

West Texas has big, open, wide skies that amaze me. It feels like the sky is going to swallow me up in one gulp every time I look up. There are generally no clouds, but when there are, it’s because a big storm is coming, and they’re huge and fluffy. My favorite part of this painting is the iridescent cloud in the top corner. This painting is acrylic with a high gloss varnish on textured canvas. (The thick canvas means it measures slightly larger than 8x8, so it would need a custom gallery frame.)

Accompanying Poem:

OPEN SKIES

the heavens yawn open

in a lazy welcome

: you’ve arrived :

at the place you said you’d never return to

but the sun is still warm, so warm

the flowers look up and smile

and it’s enough for now

to imagine you can do the same
