I painted this image from reference taken at Klaasenbosch nature reserve. This day I had the particular sense that life echoed all around me invisibly like a memory or a dream.
Rustle wrapped limbs in diaphanous beauty
lay a slender quick foot through moist, crisp decay of long lost plumage,
Wet earth, sensuous musk, rings of birth and fermentation
as light as a feather
She is nearly heard but surely felt
she runs behind you
ahead of you laughing
or crying
afraid or causing mischief
Her veil shading your eyes or casting glare
It’s hard to tell in the changing layers of light
Between the long shadows and bright seams cutting through the fabric
