Indian Summer Scenes


Summer's End
.
Strung on cicada or leaf swing bails and sterling chain
.
conceived from the magical combination of copper, enamel, watercolor and graphite
.
these are portraits of the evenings that make a spirit feel wild and tame all at once...


you've been buckling down for autumn, preparing for the great things the chill will bring
while simultaneously savoring the very harsh end of summer
with its dried out greens and plants gone to seed...


and there in the brightest of pinks is the sun, going down in a blaze of California fire-season glory.

something clutches in your animal gut
and the wisest parts clambor to help:

"Let go," commands the head
while the heart yearns to pocket this moment
if only just to take it out in the darkest December morning and remember that not everything is
cold and steeped in darkness always...


easy to forget that in the depth of the freeze.
Surely an Indian Summer evening would feel good on the palm when February has been too long
and the snows keep coming...

Thank you for being here.

oh my gosh, Allison, I am so knocked out by your enameling! I do torch-fired enameled with the immersion process, but this just blows me away! I had already fallen in love with your metal and leather work!!
