Masterpieces scattered everywhere For those who can see
Golden days and Sapphire nights—Sun-gilded days and Moon silvered nights. Days of painting and nights of art chatter, popcorn and fun.
FieLds of gray and umber and sienna—windinG roads of yellow ochre, and woods of the rainbow, reds and yellows, browns and greens harmonized by the Master whose works we adore.
LaKes of jade and emerald and aquamarine. sKies of turquoise and ultramarine; steeped in Indian Summer, brewed in the amethyst haze—the rich, heady wine of Autumn.
—by John Kelly Fitzpatrick
The above poem, written by artist John Kelly Fitzpatrick was taken from a newsletter sent to Dixie Art Colony participants. While Kelly is best know for his colorful paintings, he was also an aspiring writter. Prior to pursuing his carerer as an artist, Kelly studied journalism at the University of Alabama.
