perspective

painting by velma eden

her reminder
remains

"the white is
the hardest to master
because it isn't paint
it's the paper and it's
about leaving enough space
for the
paper to give the perspective
you are working to create,"
velma said.

she was my
teacher
my friend
who found
such joy in sharing
with others
her love for
beauty and perspective

i've told her story
and now others have
heard
and in turn they tell

velma's
gift of perspective
has multiplied
from here to there
and there to here

leave enough
space in what ever it is
you are living

leave enough space
and you will
discover
perspective
