Here are a few paintings I have finished recently, all within the range of 89cm x 122cm for the rectangular, and 122cm x 122cm for the square. -Mary

I decided to post a poem by Emily Dickinson in reaction to the google ads on our blog about death and cleaning up after a death?

 Death is a dialogue between

The spirt and the dust.

“Dissolve”, says Death.  The Spirit, “Sir,

I have another trust.”

Death doubts it, argues from the ground.

The Spirit turns away,

Just laying off, for evidence,

An overcoat of clay.

– Emily Dickinson
