Tautness I thought of you. While easing through the gallery, I chanced upon a portrait of a woman standing on the front steps to what looked like an office building or city apartment. At first, hardness seemed the painting's dominant characteristic. But then I noticed that despite the impact of direct sunlight, a stark column softened against a bare arm; while adjacent a window curtain, for all its country softness, seemed clearly jealous of the taut portrayal of breasts and the barest use of light that shaped beneath the summer fabric one thigh in pronounced offset to the concrete.

not sure how you do it... but you always do... find the tight structure and the form that leaves me wishing I could write like you... loved this one Sir... indeed I did... |

Robert, you do not appear very often, but when you do, we fall into your footsteps. |
