"Fish In The Reef"

"Fish In The Reef" was juried into the "Rockies National Watercolor Exhibition that is being held March 1-April 2, 2016 at the Western Colorado Center for the Arts.  What a wonderful time to be in the Rockies.  But, then being in the Rockies is always a wonderful, anytime.

Park Bench

"Park Bench"

She came everyday

listening

to the sweet song

the blue birds

sang.

She came everyday

watched

blue birds dance.

Tiny sky blue wings

waltzing with the

wind.

The park bench is

empty these days.

The blue birds

still

serenade and

dance

with the wind.

She knows it is

time to return.

To dance

with the

wind.

- Christine Alfery

Solo Exhibition

I'm getting ready for my solo exhibition at Gallery 210 in the Plymouth, Wisconsin at the Center for the Arts.  January 25 - Feb 12. The title of the exhibition is "The Journey"  and it includes works from my Ladders and Fences series.  This piece is called "Pink Diamonds." The exhibition includes both poetry by me and by other Wisconsin Poets. Below is the poem that I wrote that goes with this work.
