The Color I Meant to Say canvas it shows up quietly

it shows up quietly

One smile is full of innocence

Held in the arms of the Divine

and she’s ready for it

and forgive it anyway

The Color I Meant to Say canvas it shows up quietlyOriginal 30 X 23 Inch archival 100% cotton rag paper This painting isnt asking for attention. Its what happens when feeling finally rises to the surface, messy, radiant, untranslatable in words. Each layer is a sentence she couldnt finish. Each hue a held breath. And together, they move like a language older than speech. The Color I Meant to Say is for the moments we cant explain but still survive. For the aftermath that doesnt collapse. For the joy
