suddenly the color of the sky reminded louisa of all the dreams she had ever forgotten

original oil painting on birch panel
eight by ten inches
sold

several months ago i turned over one of my panels and saw this title scribbled on the back.  i'd been sure enough of the concept that i skipped my usual places to jot down ideas while i think them over (on my easel, on my desk, on my wall, in the margin of one of my dictionaries of superstitions or occasionally in my sketchbook) and had gone straight to writing the title on a panel, an action i generally reserve for finished pieces but then somehow i forgot completely about it, which i guess is rather perfect.  now that i've finished the piece i have to wonder if i'll ever remember when the idea came to me.
