Oil and acrylic on tar paper - art by Suzana Djordjevic 
 

Creativity, imagination and passion.
Tar paper is a heavy-duty paper used in construction. Tar paper is made by impregnating paper or fiberglass mat with tar, producing a waterproof material useful for roof construction. Tar paper is distinguished from roofing felt which is impregnated with asphalt instead of tar, but these two products are used the same way, and sometimes are informally used as synonyms.

 "Last Nap of Summer" 
by Michael H. Hanson

The decadence of late summer,
an august stretch so glorious,
the distant seashore's wet drummer
lethargically delirious.
The deep massage of amber light,
the grip and hug of pleasant peace,
the spell that lets all dreams take flight,
the easy buzz of errant bees.
The tickle of stray butterflies,
the soft soothing afternoon breeze
conducts a song of sylvan sighs
that floats amidst bright verdant leaves.
A bath of golden ecstasy
sweet moment in eternity.
