There are many things that make me happy in life, But a day when I can go to the art gallery is the best; I walk the many galleries, totally lost and delighted with the art, From room to room, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th Century; The bright religious paintings of the Gothic era, the mythical painting of Renaissance. I could dwell there forever, for art is life, a story painted, And then I rest, perhaps a bit of lunch, then I begin again; 19th Century, 20th Century, and a quick visit to Impressionism, A peek at Abstract (not my favorite) nor is Modern Art, but I view; And in my gallery, because I am in Canada, there is the Canadian art, amazing. And then the Aboriginal Art and the Inuit Art of Canada, That is always very moving and beautiful to linger over; Then after yet another rest, I go to the Water Court and Garden, In the very heart of the gallery there is a reconstructed church; Well as you can tell, a day at the art gallery for me is blissful with happiness. For me art is part of life, painted of life, it tells a story of life, and it brings me utter happiness that lingers for days and days. ______________________________ April 14, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Lost in Art Copyright Protected, ID 16-777-976-0 All Rights Reserved.

Congrats, B. W. I'm assuming that's a picture of the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa?

your theme is SO unique, Constance. I think you did a fine job with the happiness theme. I found an oldie about something that made me glad and I hope she likes it. I have many happiness poems but they are all mostly about the MANY things that make me happy, not one thing alone!

Check out Dennis Coupland, he's a contemporary artist who I find quite intriguing. I enjoyed walking through your gallery.
