In Gaston Bachelard's introduction to The Poetics of Space, he writes about the poetic image. 
"How can a singular short-lived event, the appearance of an unusual poetic image, react on other minds and in other hearts despite common sense?" 
"Exact because it is so simple." 
"We fill up"

very romantic the silk and the breeze, the way it lifts.....I like it when it unfurls an the color against the blue sky and white sand.
Simply wonderful! Love the big pieces you've been working on. Enjoy your vacation.
