Simplicity

Sharon L Letson, Author

May 2, 2023

Simplicity Why should I reach for the stars? When I prefer to admire them from afar. Too close and they’d burn too bright. Surrounded by darkness they decorate the night. Like pearls sliding off a thread. A million sparkles of yellow, blue, and red I do not desire the depths of the ocean to reach,…

The Wagon

Sharon L Letson, Author

April 28, 2023

What happened, Papa?” Jemma whispered as a broken down wagon came into view. “Was it the injuns?” Jemma had heard rumors about Indians who attacked wagon trains, even though the adults tried to hide that reality from the children. “No,” Papa assured her, hoping he wasn’t lying to his oldest daughter. “I’m sure they were…

Dragon Time!

Sharon L Letson, Author

April 17, 2023

The question always is, which comes first? The poem or the painting. In today’s case it was the poem and then I created the painting to match my vision of it. I do find that harder than getting the painting first and writing a short story or poem based on that, but sometimes you just…

Light

Sharon L Letson, Author

March 31, 2023

The inspiration for this watercolor/poem combination comes from some decorative vases that my sister has placed in a window of her home. I love the colors and the way the light and shadows look. Life is as fragile as glass And as fleeting as the shadows they cast But light fractured Dances and skips it’s…

The Sturgeon

Sharon L Letson, Author

March 25, 2023

I love to kayak. I prefer a slow moving river, but even a paddle around the small lake our cabin sits on is a small bit of heaven. There’s just something about the combination of the warm sun and riding the water that makes me immensely happy. So, my painting today was inspired by my…
