Twinkling Reds

Amaryllis in the sky,
how I wonder why you are
up and blooming, winter bright,
beautiful, yet quite bizarre.

SIMPLY Beautiful!
This has a beautiful abstract quality and wonderful composition. The rich darks and peeks of light remind me of paintings by Olin Redon.
Ah, Odilon Redon (1840-1916), French, the noted artist who I was unfamiliar with, and who said "I have often, as an exercise and as a sustenance, painted before an object down to the smallest accidents of its visual appearance; but the day left me sad and with an unsatiated thirst. The next day I let the other source run, that of imagination, through the recollection of the forms and I was then reassured and appeased."
