1st Place Ribbon
Shadows and Silhouettes
2004

2004 Lake County Fair

My wife brought down this candle last week
and lit it near my computer station.

I think it was a little musty smelling down here after all the rains.

Well tonight I lit it and this is what became of it.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
They did not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
