An Amazing Artist

The Joy Of Painting features
Some truly incredible works of art!
Robert Norman Ross presents
His paintings from the start.

He takes us through his process
As he creates one cannot speak!
He uses very little paint,
But a LOT of technique!

What may take days for a novice 
He achieves in a tiny fraction.
In a mere half-hour his art 
Is the result of his brushes action.

Some paintings witnessed so far,
A moon reflecting on the sea,
A hut by a river, a forest...
Each telling their story.

One little feather from his
Imagination he does pluck.
Every time I see this show
I feel simply Wonderstruck!

Thank you Gordon. It's a nice program. It's usually on BBC. I couldn't tell you what day or channel as we've dropped on it a time or two and watched. :-)
