Brian Strand Poet Ekphrasis

On the Beach

Flotsam
and jetsam,
in abstraction-
stranded in the painter's 
mind's eye


Inspired by John Pipers Beach object 1937 a construction.

Brian Hebisen January 31, 2009 at 9:00 AM I am digging this one. I love "the painter's mind's" It explains perfectly the artistic multiples of minds we all possess. Keep them coming
