Impressionism

Flashing colors applied with many stokes,
Creating movement like musical notes.
Brilliant Blues prevalent throughout,
Within the shadows and reflecting light.
Creates a mood of morning mist,
And a feeling of absolute bliss.
How could one create such beauty?
In a world that seems so ugly,
For he sees what others dream,
Creates a gift, like a flowing stream
To a starving village without water,
Turns black and white into brilliant color.
Up close, colors applied chaotically release  
An image from afar: a masterpiece.

Artists write with colors, poets paint with words. A great picture you have given here.
