Pablo, According To Me, Part 1a

Pablo...according to me (Part 1a), read Part 1b to finish

Re Pablo Picasso printmaking exhibition at Bellagio Hotel's Fine Art Gallery.

(1) Left Profile of a Woman with Blue Hair
   The lass you slay here rebukes your dogma while submitting to greater cause. I wonder if her soul preempted her locks in route to this blue oblivion.

(2) Woman with a Yellow Necklace
  I don't blame you, I'd chase her too.  The untamed lass -- part figurine, part conundrum, part hurricane -- who pried, cried and tried your fervor until committing to the menu and after-party.

(3) El Greco's Portrait of a Man with a Ruff
   The patience you must have had, I never would.  Slicing, dicing, razors slashing this debonair freak, and from the misery of linoleum too.  Seems like you took 3rd Grade stencils, dipped them in the blood of barbarians, and chased it with a cocktail of speed, habanero grits and rancor.  Well done.

(4) The Painter and His Easel
   So it's me, watching you, watching this painter, watching and coloring the world in hope that someone is watching.  Eye drops, anyone?

(5) Reclining Woman
  If my wife looked like that on the sectional, maybe the dogs might behave, and I might get peace and quiet every once in a while.

(6) Head of a Woman Next to a Window
  The pink streak grabs my gut, saying trace my face with grace, then maybe you tackle what I see, what l need.  On that note, Windex ever?

..to be continued in Part 1b (because the Soup won't let me post it all here, ugh)...
