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

I appreciate your reference to a host of artists and the subjects of their art. You've described them beautifully using evocative words. How expressive art work is...artists and painters amaze me.

Not sure why exactly this made me tear up! I felt this poem so strongly! Sigh! So poignant and so moving
