Real and Alive – Wyeth Walk #142

“God, just to paint one piece of kelp and make it real and alive.” – Andrew Wyeth (1)

This spider web globe was glowing and defying description, as pulses of rainbow lights shot across the threads like miniature comets glowing in the late afternoon sun.  I have never seen anything so beautiful.  Or perhaps I should say I have never seen anything more beautiful.  Not sure I did it justice with a photograph, I think perhaps the deepest mysteries can’t be captured in photos or paintings.  But we can hint at them. 

July 31, Chester County PA, temp 81F
