A Glimpse of Summer

Ink over pencil on paper, 11.5" x 8.5".

Today the battle between color and grey took place in the skies over Portland. It began with a huge tear in the black sky at 5 AM, through which a giant cream moon rolled out. Throughout the rest of the day, the sky was grey, then gold and blue and pink and white then grey then yellow, etc. The blossom bearing fruit trees bursted fluffy, in rows, staring skyward. The people in my taxi rallied when the sunlight was winning out over the clouds. Funny how this feeling is so universal among people.
