Are you butterflies
immobilized in flight
Drifting from our skies, frail as paper boat
Are you musical notes,
dropped on creek to float
Are you pastel dreams
And is our colored marsh
not the grass it seems
Soon you’re borne away,
reflected in streams ...A Ware

Another stunner, you are such an original!!
Janis Zroback replied
Thanks Jan…In my RB work I try to go against the “rules”, as established by the gallerists to keep to a similar body of work…with me it’s always try something different….keeps me engaged in the work.

Janis Zroback replied
Thanks Vickie…flowers can be very bold, especially where I grew up…they hit you in the eye with their colours..I emphasized the exoticism of this one to give it more impact…

ah, lovely work janis… love the poem also
Janis Zroback replied
Thanks Karin…though I found it afterwards, the poem suited the work perfectly as it is about the tropical Hibiscus…I couldn’t ask for a better match in the words “pastel dreams”....

Powerful looking image
Janis Zroback replied
I wanted to depict the boldness of the tropical colours and the intense heat, not only of the sun but of the colours of the landscape itself…I decided that emphasizing the intensity of the hues would give the right impact…I think it did…

Janis,
I looked over you art in your gallery, and i think you have a real talent with illustrating organic life, both in a surreal, and realistic style. Great work.
