Time
Oil on board
Text on the picture reads:
Dinotopia
All at once, Will put a
hand to my shoulder and hissed,
"Father, listen!"
From some distance in the jungle came a series
of low, sustained hootings--or perhaps I should
say bellowings--and then again silence. We waited.
All remained quiet. Eventually, urged forward by
our need to escape the hot sun, we crept into the
jungle.
