I like the fact that a writer can take on another art form as the theme to a poem. sometimes it fails because the writer feels that they must offer a critique. I think the narration of a feeling is the best approach and you do it here. the 'I choose' is emphatic and a great way to end the poem. the rhyme of views - hues and choose, add a real punch to this.

OMG, beauty incomparable. In looking these up I came across his painting of Irisis, Poppies and Garden at Giverny. It's difficult to stop! Back to your poem - perfect! I choose too! Love, Shar
