Author Description

The artist gazes into her finished panoramic view of a landscape as she sits and deepens her mesmerized stare, opening the window of her soul. What is she feeling? Contentment, love, suffering, or friendship illuminates the life of a park bench where it bows in humbleness. At a distance, a young woman crosses a wooden bridge and sits on a park bench. The various perspectives of blue-sky tones highlight auburn values to accentuate feelings of love, loss, emptiness, and joy. At the forefront of the landscape, an egret patiently waits for the stream’s current to change direction. A hand rests on a park bench, and the message appears on the journal’s cream sketched paper. Lightly, the Park Bench Blessing’s poetic form reveals life’s meandering journey—capturing love, loss, and courage through heartfelt moments intended to share gratitude and contentment with every breath.
