Artists

I envy many
Highest are the pure artists
Great poets are highly desired
In my opinion
Painters just slightly below
In humble reality

Life would be a much poorer place without either Russ but I can't choose a favorite as they both add so much. I sure like your thoughts on the subject though.

lovely expressions of beauty Russell.. painters and poets are a unique group of artists who endeavor to entertain in a broader aspect of life rather than stage or movies or theatre... appreciate your most kind words on my entry for Michael.. high praise from an accredited poet as yourself is very meaningful to me.. a humble vessel of God to spread His joy in poetry luv.. through luv...

Thought provoking piece, my friend. I love paintings but, yes, I have to say I agree with you. Shakespeare over Da Vinci every time : )
