On my nightstand:
We sat at the table
in silence for awhile.
A beam of light from the window
fell across the table,
and I watched
little particles of dust
float around in it.
They looked so bright and detailed.
Like some kind of kinetic art.
Beyond that I saw the lemon halves
still lying on the counter.
Not yet squeezed.

What beautiful solution! Circling but not, and the purple accents!
Thx, Carol! I wanted movement, contrast, graphic feel, and a bit more depth, all while holding onto simplicity—had fun finding my way towards those goals.
What a vision, that short excerpt. I can see it clearly. And your soft jewels. shimmering, and vibrating gently. Somehow they seem alive... pretty little purple creatures. :)
Sheila, thanks for reflecting back to me the shimmering vibrating aliveness that evolved in this piece. Yesterday I wasn't sure how I might be able to get those gems to dance.
