the early evening light, in Mansfield, Vermont

Painter Plié

As Susan paints,
as colors brush
onto paper,
dancing hues, her
palette ballet,
is studied, pause,
in her dancing
painter's plié,
fourth position,
again, again,
till performance
is satisfied.

Susan Painted a Watercolor Demo
for our workshop, describing her process as she painted.
That's her studio facing us and her attached house with its roof.
