“There is the charm of Evanescence, that which lends to
supreme beauty and grace an aureole of Pathos.”
THE RAVEN / EDGAR ALLAN POE
This painting is intentionally not finished because Lady M's story is not finished.
It takes patience to wait for the perfect light. Glance away and the image can disappear And sometimes the background isn’t quite right.
The moment missed is like a face out of sight That against all logic we hope will appear From around the a corner, bathed in perfect light.
And so we hold on to what’s passing out of sight, The collision between soon and too late, The sheer thread connecting to the perfect light In which the background is precisely right.

THE RAVEN / EDGAR ALLAN POE
This painting is intentionally not finished because Lady M's story is not finished.
It takes patience to wait for the perfect light.
Glance away and the image can disappear
And sometimes the background isn’t quite right.
The moment missed is like a face out of sight
That against all logic we hope will appear
From around the a corner, bathed in perfect light.
And so we hold on to what’s passing out of sight,
The collision between soon and too late,
The sheer thread connecting to the perfect light
In which the background is precisely right.
