Flowers In Art

A tulip in a vase 
                       on a rigid stand
       does it really hold a thousand words?
                   or a thousand strokes
                     as the artist paints             
                  it upon a fresh canvas?

          What is going through their mind
                     with each stroke,
                    each dab of paint,
              each mark it leaves behind
              what memory does it hold-
              whose life does it embellish
                 or is it just a painting
               thought of by the artist 
        to spark the interest of the onlooker?
