Our Ultimate Painter

nature’s light bulb in the eye of the rising sun appears
dark sky breaks open, ushering in a fresh day
glorious pinks, yellows and oranges
flung like paint from a sixties paint spinning machine
a lone tear slides out of my eye, as my soul is overcome
with this majesty.
Words are insufficient
I could never paint
like our Ultimate Painter.
So I stare, mesmerized.

This is true, Caren, no artist, however great, can with paint or genius duplicate nature's scenery. In my modest opinion the greatest artist of light was, and still is, Turner. Always appreciate your stop bys. /Maurice
