Grey Day Portraits

Maria Poe — Hoboken

The sky was completely grey over Hoboken.

Old snow resting in tired piles.

Rain starting slowly.

Inside the studio of Maria Poe.

Clay on the table.

Brushes. Tools.

The quiet life of a working studio.

A good day for portraits.

Not bright ones.

The thoughtful kind.

Just a person,

her studio,

and the grey afternoon.
