Painting

Is a serene,
Calming,
Placid,
Composed,
Tranquil,
And quiet speciality.
Painters are in a peculiar class.
They are suppose to help us see pass
The glass
To what's on the canvas.
This is a task.
When I have to ask
Is that really a palm that I would buy?
Then I have to remember beauty is in the eye
Of the beholder.
It may not be what I percieve
Yet, I truly believe
A painter can always show us their creativity
And diversity
Of their reality
Of a city.
Once in a while people have in the scheme 
Of things the same dream
If you know what I mean.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 2/21/2019 5:35:00 PM You have expressed how painters view the world remarkably Bette. I used to create sculptures and I can relate perfectly to what you mean. : ) Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/21/2019 6:24:00 PM Thank you. I am glad I could express the artists, along with the sculptures view. I think it's wonderful that you did sculptures. I love going to the premiere to see these things and hang out with the poets, artists, and the people who do sculptures. I learn so much.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/21/2019 1:13:00 PM Being an artist and a poet, and a cartoonist, I do believe your poem has honored all three of these sides of myself,and I am grateful, Bette.

Some definitely have more than others which makes me want to keep trying.
