Painter Of Realistic Faces

Your lifestyle is vibrant and restless
and from tiny towns to big cities
your search for human images
to paint very realistic faces!

And while you don't have the unique touch
of a Davinci or of a Caravaggio: you do excel,
many strangers from far places ring your bell:
they spend hours posing for a silver brooch!

Earning money is only for essentials,
no passion is more satisfying
to glance at your finished paintings
and wish they'd be talking!

Painter of realistic faces,
immortalize them with your magical brush!
Those men's stunning, hard bodies;
those woman's seductive, soft curves,
don't need any correction or a final touch:
your artistic talent amazes!

Hello Andrew, What a nice celebration, dedication and talent of a painter capturing the essence of human faces. It speaks to the satisfaction found in creating art that reflects the beauty and complexity of life. Your words speak of admiration for the artist's skill and the transformative power of their work. Very illuminating filled with passion and magic behind the strokes of a painter's brush. - Blessings, Daniel

Hi, Daniel. I have appreciated your kind comment on my poem. It's in arts that we find inspiration. Ancient and modern masterpieces are a reminder of their genius. Either be a Shakespeare, a Dante, a Michelangelo, a Van Gogh, a Mozart, or a Verdi: we are filled with sublime joy by seeing and listening. Have a Happy Sunday, my friend.
