I just got another flattering e-mail from Rick, Andy Baldwins wonderful assistant who made mention that all the illustrations in Volume three of The Diary of Pink Pearl Continues: Im Wide Awake and Born Again! makes his work complicated but he didnt mind because he considers it another work of art. I replied, I cant take all the credit, its nice to find a way to collaborate with other artists around the world that support my cause. Heres a couple beautiful pages I created as a tribute to my dear friend and fan, Phibby Venable, author “Dry Branch Hollow” on pages 39 - 40. A Cross of Roads In Carolina at a dirt cross of roads I saw the splendor of a star shine and fall - It was Autumn & a ripeness was pungent in the dying leaves - the moon large enough to reveal golden petals of indentations There was a coolness in the air & a thickening of night sounds - the owl running a compulsory call - some lone bird I had not heard before rolling a long sound of woe And you, barefoot & suddenly mysterious more than my best friend - suddenly a flower crumbled and thrown down in faded leaves Our houses faced each other & the roads ran four ways, as though we had choices, as though the traps set by the captured wives of the Methodist church would never reach us, but run confused by the choice of directions There was a beautiful boy who broke beneath the iron will of his mother, her disappointment more important than the open light in your face There was a denial, and a new knowledge dawning in the insufferable night – and a baby too small to hold up a fist - And you, beautiful meteor of the bright, dulled with realization - crumbled with a sharp stick and the smell of death - No longer worried about the plans we kept hidden in the red diary beneath the iron bed - White - a broken laurel, an ivory face - searching the stars in an endless stare ~ Phibby Venable https://youcaring/manage-fundraiser.aspx?frid=261101 Thank you for caring and paying it forward by sharing!
