The Fall That Spring

Blue Ridge Parkway Paintings By Dawn Richerson

It was merely the latest stumble and still the fall that Spring had seemed among all the green and growing things a final defeat. He collapsed, bleeding not so much from some physical wound as seeping the rage he had pretended not to know, the sorrow he had refused to acknowledge, the truth that he could not yet see was a treasure held within this heart that felt so broken. This acrylic painting is from the Spirited Life and Blue Ridge Blessings collections of paintings that explore variations on the theme of life and dreams of a new world from Virginia artist Dawn Richerson.
