The Artist That I Most Prefer

In music and artwork and poetry too,
top artists by genre I think must be none.
There simply exist too many of them
for me to name as the best only one.

So when asked who my favorite artist is,
I sat and I thought and I thought.
Finally I have decided on one
to fit in the top artist spot!

The artist I choose as my favorite is
the most versatile one of them all.
She paints gorgeous sunsets. Busy all year,
she paints winter, spring, summer and fall.

She not only paints, but she creates music -
like the babble of streams and the song
of the lark and the robin and all other birds.
She composes and paints all year long.

All other artists (at least most of them)
often get inspiration from her.
A goddess is she, who inspires me too.
Mother Nature’s the artist that I most prefer.

WoW! Andrea, I liked your take on the contest theme. I thought to myself who is she talking about. The anticipation had more, you are so clever. I wouldn't have thought of it. I see why you are in the top spot, you deserved it hands down. Congratulations my friend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving:-) Alexis

No one can effectively paint what is before our eyes...the changes intimately surprise every day. Though one tries. Nicely done, Andrea!

And all those paintings are on display throughout the year--in changing frames! You picked a good one, Andrea. All the best.
