Embedded in the paint surface is the text of the poem "Traveling
West At Night" by W. S. Merwin:
I remember waking at the rivers
to see girders of gray sleepless bridges
appearing from sleep out of a current
of cold night air velvet with the secret
coal smoke of those small hours and nobody
on night roads the few words of toll-keepers
old complaints of gates and cables the bark
of bridge floors leaping up from under us…

For those of you with low vision:
This painting depicts the silhouette of a bridge, its latticework of open trusses, and the night sky reflected in the water, and rendered in an abstract expressionist manner. Embedded within the paint is a poetic text.
These descriptions are being rushed onto all the website paintings. Please accept that they are a work in progress. Thanks for your consideration.
