My Artwork

You feel that painting exists Still upon the canvas But it has lost its luster When it keeps it growing Inside your temple Your heart beats faster As the painting develops Into a masterpiece Of dimensions evolved Into pieces of life Shown by the colors upon The white canvas Showing where dips an sways Revolve around the world’s Only repertoire of truth Thrust upon life’s grace Where I see the painting In my mind’s eye still Grueling around And laying upon the canvas A picture of abstract Proportions to random Acts of nothingness Still plays its tune upon My desires to blend the colors And bleed the picture Into what art Surely means to me Russell Sivey

Art can be seen only through our " Mind's eye" dear, Russell for, as Socrates puts it only that can see real beauty! You my friend have painted your canvas with words and it is a masterpiece indeed! Spectacular my friend!

This is very nice, Russell, you need to get those paints out and start laying and blending paint on your canvas.. the mural on my poem is one that I was commissioned to do a few years back...

nice one, russell. i like the idea of seeing the painting in your "mind's eye" before getting it down on the canvas...

I can relate to this, Russell, from painting the paintings I do. Are you a painter too? This seems as though you may be :)
