Creation Through My Imagination

I etch an outline of the landscape’s reflection, 
pigments and colors making nature’s connection.
I portray a mighty bald eagle fly in the distance
above a mount that hovers with affection.
For painting is my entire life’s existence,
the beauty of an empty canvas is perfection. 

There’s nothing more lovely than an illustration, 
a magnificent depiction of God’s creation.
A composition of an abstract design,
or a family portrait carrying characterization. 
I know that when the brilliant starts align,
I feel the need to use my imagination.

Paintings of my sweet dogs I have created
with shadows of their tails in mediums faded. 
There’s no duplication just originality,
this gift I have makes me highly elated.
I sense my fascinating personality
reveals my talent as life is translated. 

I whitewash the marvel of memories,
through paintings of wildlife and the trees.
When I’m in the moment of developing art,
I experience the splendor no one else sees.
All my flair and skill come from my heart
and in each moment I paint... I find ease.

I experience the splendor no one else sees. Congratulations. Yes, whether it be art, photography, writing, it is an inspiration in a moment no one else is experiencing right then. From whence comes that inspiration? A gift from God
