deep in it

'Northwest is Best'  16x20" oil pastel on panel;  Kathleen Faulkner


These are dark times.


I look out to the west
dark clouds have lifted over the Olympics

To the east, the North Cascades shine
  beneath the dark, brooding sky
 
  It brings to mind a line from a poem, as it often does,

and  'I am blinded by it's splendor'.*


*'What is the Beautiful'  Kenneth Patchen
