"Mastering the Mistral"

Mastering the Mistral  was part of the "Facing Darkness" art show. The original is 48"x60" acrylic on cotton canvas. It is also available as a giclee on cotton canvas  with a mirrored gallery wrap of 1 1/2" or a giclee on paper.  I write Ekphrastic poetry to go with my paintings. Here are my thoughts on Mastering the Mistral:   Lone warriors, we feel alone An echo of a moan    Surrounded by uncertainty Rumblings of anarchy   Defenseless from the elements Wearing only facial helmets   Like a jib backwinding, we feel out of control We want no more patrol   Waves crashing upon us we cannot imagine the future Will we ever master this wind of the Mistral Or is the Corona Virus just a mis-trial to test our resiliency
