                              It was so beautiful, lacy, sexy and red,   Lovely to wear; what more to be said, Alas, it did not suit
                              the dress,
                               Nor
                              the curve of my flesh,
                               Would
                              give me pain I'd face with dread.
                               So
                              it lay discarded but not replaced,
                               Beautiful
                              with it's inset of French lace,
                               A
                              silken garment refined,
                               The
                              only one of it's kind,
                               Set
                              aside with tears, what a waste.
                               Still
                              I carry the memory in my head,
                               Of
                              a time it was reluctantly left behind, Such a heart throbbing beautiful red,  A keepsake with memories to remind. ...........................(c)ffacer............

                                    I am mainly self-taught learning to paint from a great many sources
                                    -books on painting, fine artists on youtube and  the late Helen Van Wyk. I
                                    am a member of a number of art sites online and have learned a lot interacting with other talented artists. In addition,
                                    the  About monthly painting projects  have added so much to my learning experience as well as painting almost
                                    daily has helped me tremendously.
