Foreground: upward-sloping grass hill.

Background: clear blue sky,

Olympic mountains,

still sea water.

Subject: a little girl,

running up-up and away,

to the middle of forever-ever land;

the space there in-between.

Object: the observers of this

plein-air painting,

abstract and surreal as life

and its dreams.

Inspiration felt again;

the thrill of it all expanding

before you.
