Notes About The Poem

Painting In Action

drip
by drip,
here and there,
close to my art
now,I am at ease;
layer,upon layer
my painting begins to live;
a harmony of give and take,
passivity becomes counterpoint
to the lyrics dancing in my mind's eye

I cannot think of art, without a thought of you Brian, and the talent you display both with paint, and with words. Multi-gifted are you. Congratulations and thank you for your generous support. :)
