Light and Dark – – poetry and paintings by Lesly Frances Finn

Night Moves 1

This is an abstract painting in textured acrylic paint depicting a street and figures at night. (Note lady at an upstairs windos and the man leaving at bottom (R) of picture.)

Just the 3

why say more
when three will do?
I love you

River walk – Cahors, France

Crazy cat

Love my cat
– he’s black
but quite MAD.
That’s that.

Playing along

summer means lawn bowls
a sport to enjoy, so good
for mind and body

Stubborn

they said you can’t
that did it
– just watch me!

Rhythms (acrylic 2007)

2007 Rhythms

Born in England I spent the greater part of my life there before emigrating to New Zealand with my husband in 1999, taking early retirement from a career in nursing. Once we settled I was able to re-acquaint myself with painting and, more recently, try my hand at writing.
