In celebration of this piece being in an art exhibition, I am reposting it. I also wanted to share it with those close friends here on DA who cannot be at the exhibition.

Medium: Watercolor, Sumi Ink, Gousche.

For those of you who live in the Milwaukee area, the exhibition runs May 5th - May 19th. And is located in the INOVA 3 Gallery at UW-Milwaukee.

For anyone not familiar with this piece already, this was a colaborative piece I did with a fellow DA friend and poet. She wrote the poem that is written in the back ground of the piece. The copy I post here on DA does not allow for the poem to be read; so I have included it here. Please check out other amazing poetry written by MissDeets [link]

“Walking Past”
Poem by deviant MissDeets

and I'm
wearing my heart on my sleeve
dragging it behind me
past is my enemy
tripping over roots of trees
I planted - not thinking
then of now but
now then is it for my eyes

I'm coughing up the blood of the words
I've held in for years past what i can count
dancing round and round on impromptu holy ground

bet they never saw this coming
and now I'm walking

walking right on past.
