I'm learning more every day that I paint using these daylight flourescent pigments! At day's end in the oblique light they simply glow! It is quite amazing to see. I'm also playing with the shadows created when the lexan is lifted away from the white paper behind. Every day something new emerges.

I am reminded of the last lines from Mary Oliver's poem "The Ponds:"

Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled-
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing-
that the light is everything---that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.
