grand garden at Giverny
are gems gorgeously
nestling near a warm abode
where golden path lies beneath
in thick impasto and rugged strokes
transforming terrestrial moment
into amaranthine beatitude

baggy brush movement
of varied greens~ 
transposing from  soft geneva
to gecko and genoa
interlacing with periwinkle petals 
blended with amethyst and magenta
unfurling paradisaical artist's milieu

teeming trees reflect
dappled sunshine
in exuberant flora
resembling your eyes
exuding ethereal joy~
every time you look at me

I am so glad to find yet another gem in this wonderful poem. The flow and imagery is teeming with vibrancy and glistening delight. The fantastic painting so free and lavish with its purple and pink everywhere. Monet, always has been one of my favorite artists. Great verses my friend- a fine fav.. God bless..
