PORTRAITISTA observations
warhol's marilyn had everything
but just a flaw...
she was ever so unsure
hopper's lady
of the empy chair...
with such sadness in her stare
michelangelo's girl
..less a picture of sleep
more of piety and grief
whistler ..his ma's own dear butterfly..
but made her more famous..in reply
seurat's lady's gaze ..disppears into the haze
...did seurat miss the point
watteau's black beauty in chalk
red,black and white..
to fill us with delight
leighton's languishing lady ..all admire
her eye filled with such desire
