Image: Hank's own soft pastel sketch
on an A4 size dark drawing paper
received long ago
a box of water colours
a box of water colours
it signaled a change
appreciation rekindled
from lines and shadows
of depths and perspectives
into images transformed
of complex measures later
in hues of oils acrylics
and pastels
created colours of life's beauty
