Red Sings from Treetops: A Year in Colors

Every color has a role to play in this poetic journey through the seasons. The shouting yellow of spring becomes the melting yellow of summer. In fall, "Yellow grows wheels / and lumbers / down the block, / blinking: / Warning-classrooms ahead." In winter, yellow and her brilliant sisters have all gone home, and gray and brown are the only beauties left. Full-color mixed-media paintings on wood with computer illustration.
