Tapestry of Color, Florida Show Acrylic from "Conceptual Abstract Expression" Sessions 2014 AWARD - Honorable Mention 2014 @ North Port Art Center, Abstract SW Florida Holiday Gallery Show - Judged by 'Gina Battle Contributed Poetic Addition: Doors that have been opened time after time but no prize waits behind them Different moods ooze from there in multi-colored hues Logic places them in boxes to be stacked or stored away Some of them still seep these colors of the soul Most push through the dark seeking light in their wake but this old soul wears black protection for sanity's sake Exposing love this way a blur of colors blended by time sort, separate, lines of tears pushed aside Deep beneath the dark mistakes scrape, escape to start over and over Bridges charred but not burnt through a miracle at best the sun itself shines brighter when this old soul sheds its skin to show the gentle man within Written by Cheryl Palmer-Srnka
