Painting Mountains

I like to paint the mountains with the backdrop of sky
Touch them with white snow, detailed to the eye
When one looks, there may be a feeling of being there
Observing from a distance, to escape somewhere
Maybe, it carries a memory of visits pleasantly fun
Something to remember, in a scene for everyone
I like to paint the mountains and see how far I can go
Climbing into the painting, that takes me with its flow

G'day Heidi ... to be able to paint scenic views and write picture poems is a double dose of art. You are so lucky Heidi - Lindsay

You must climb in the painting to feel it; beautifully expressed.

We paint with paints and words and sometimes people. "Climbing into the painting, that takes me with its flow" Loved this poem, but especially that part Heidi.
