Gauguin's Chair

Candle lit quarters.. bearing colorful carpet... and his wooden chair. · With a curved backrest, of somber reddish-brown wood; upholstered green straw. · and in his absence... a lit candle takes his place: ...two modern novels. · Vincent paint’s his muse, in consistent loneliness... ...waiting for Gauguin. _________________________________ For Abe's Van Goh's of Van Gogh contest the Painting is "Gauguin’s Chair"

Hi Raul, Today I am taking the time to enjoy myself reading some of my favorite poems. Your poem "Gauguin’s Chair "is one of my favorite poems. And I really love Vincent V. In fact, I have the movie, "Lust for Life", which is about VanGogh. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading it, again. Thank you for sharing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
