sun comes up
new day
alone
quiet empty house
just me
inside
television only voice
that breaks
silence
sun goes down
chill deepens
sad

I like the gentleness of this;I sometimes feel this at night ; the watercolor is magnificent; you are gifted; keep it up, Kate; the paintings complement — and compliment —-your poems.

Beautiful and somewhat eerie… fits the mood of the verses… there’s an emptiness, stillness… yet captivating…; -) 💕

Thank you, my friend. 💕
I apologize for the late response…I’ve been busy the last several days coordinating with my late husband’s brother on where and how we will take care of Husband’s ashes. I’ll email you in the near future to let you know what we have planned.

I see some similarities between the Feb. 9 painting and this one. But I also see shared elements between this one and the Feb. 3 Sun Painting. Overall the have different stylistic elements and all three are particularly striking. Very well done! You should definitely be considering providing images for sites that are willing to provide proper compensation.

Thank you…again. I considered selling on sites, but then it would turn into a business. I prefer keeping it a pleasure.
