Nuages de Taos #1 - Peinture acrylique ventes exceptionnelles

Taos clouds, so soft and wide,
Lazily drift on the mountain's side.
A canvas of cotton, pure and bright,
Sailing on a sea of endless light.

They whisper secrets, old as time,
Echoing peace in silent rhyme.
Above the town, they softly glide,
In the arms of the cobalt sky, they hide.

Each puff a story, slow and sweet,
Like a melody on the wind's heartbeat.
They watch the valley, the rivers flow,
Kissing the peaks in a soft, warm glow.

Taos clouds, a fleeting dance,
In their stillness, we find our trance.
A breath of grace, a moment's sigh,
As they cradle the blue, vast, endless sky.
