she posed
with a slice of tomato—
little ingrid
(Scrolling through old photos, I found this picture of a pastel painting I made some time ago. I painted this picture from a photo of Ingrid, who lived in a little trailer at the edge of the salt marshes just outside of Wildwood. She was sitting on the kitchen table next to a white plate with a slice of red tomato. There’s more to the story but I’ll end it here.
Isn’t it wonderful where the mind can take you?)
