the sky is reflected off the silvery sludge in the belly pan for my old dodge van that has been patiently waiting outside for weeks....
there is no tarp on this, it just appears that way - it is solid black painted metal with dark watermarks, debris, grass, oil and a few areas of silvery sludge, almost like mercury... giving the appearance of a view out of a window.
the object on the far right is actually a set of lug nuts in a black plastic holder, upside down - the holder's mounting end looking like a keyhole and the door knob looking thing is a large washer for mounting the belly pan back...once the time is right.
note: the entire "silvery sludge" series is contained in this frame.
and
coming to my window means to me that I am asking you to look through my eyes and see the beauty I see.
PEACE
In the story what fun !!.

Oh my my my! Peggy, without question you have my vote. Before Melissa Etheridge was known, I won tickets to see her at a small venue in Cambridge MA. When she sang the first song "Chrome Plated Heart" I knew this woman was an outstanding performer. You are an "outstanding" artist. Peace Me
