Andrea Dietrich Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Rachael Mercer

British painter Rachel Mercer -
for a contemplative approach, Gwen John was her precursor.
She captures real scenes with a bit of abstraction;
using loose brushstrokes she indicates live action.

Valsa George July 13, 2026 at 4:15 AM Each artist uses a different technique. With the last line, you have embodied the spirit of the painting. Great Clerihew

Len Gasun July 12, 2026 at 9:03 AM Thank you so much for introducing me/us this artist through your lovely clerihew. If this is for the contest, a winner for me. Thanks a lot for sharing. Best wishes always. Hugs Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2026 at 12:31 PM You are welcome, Len.

Hiya Sharma July 12, 2026 at 3:06 AM Wow. That last line! So creative dear Andrea, you've described this artist so well and I will look for more of her work, indeed ~ beautifully done! Sending you light and best wishes. Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2026 at 12:31 PM thanks, I prefer realist painters, but I guess she is a semi-famous artist in England.

Alison A Smith July 12, 2026 at 3:01 AM You have described this artist very well. Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2026 at 12:32 PM thanks, Alison

Tom Cunningham July 12, 2026 at 12:40 AM Lovely tribute to her Andrea, I must look up more of her work. Tom Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2026 at 12:32 PM There are SO many artists today. Kind of like with singers, dancers, poets. How would we ever get to know them all?

Karen Jones July 11, 2026 at 11:51 PM Wow this has a powerful one two punch! You’re like the Muhammad Ali of poetry Andrea! Is this for contest? It’s well done and I love your style! Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2026 at 12:34 PM thanks so much, Karen. Usually any clerihews I do are for Brian. I don't know what else to give him other than footles or ekphrasis. I don't win with my other poetry.
