Notes About The Poem

A Painting Called Christina

Each subject breathes in a different way
with intimacy I can feel
Where images will call me
to fall into the spell.
Emotion draws me
to the place where
Christina's
beauty
dwelled

Anthony Bianco December 10, 2015 at 10:39 PM Hi Carrie, I have a print of that painting in my living room. From what I know/read, Christina was a real character who had polio and at times had to crawl to get around the farm...sad, haunting and somehow beautiful all at once. I think Wyeth recently died. Anyhow nice tribute, Anthony Carrie Richards December 11, 2015 at 9:52 AM Glad to see that someone else finds the beauty in simplicity of Andrew Wyeth paintings. I did hear that Christina was someone he knew. I have a print framed of another of his paintings..called "Groundhog Day" . They all seem to have a somber feel to them. Thanks for the comment!
