Drowning

By Mildred Lippes


I was drowning.


I was drowning to the music of Afternoon of a Faun by Debussy. The camp counselors were oblivious to my predicament. I was dancing in ecstasy across the wide dam.


I too, loving that music, fought my way to the surface and then to the muddy shore.


To this very day this music lifts my Spirits up - up over everyday cares 'til I float carefree above the clouds.

Hello Mrs. Lippes. I have two of your paintings my grandmother so admired and purchased from you when you lived ed on New York in the 60s. Do you have an idea as to I can determine the value of the pieces from an insurance/loss standpoint?
