The Love of Visual Art!

The Love of Visual Art! By the poets listed after the poem The beauty born in every stroke he makes. The master's golden touch paint emulates. His colours and textures in crafting eye, His mind in picture, fresh canvas applied. He paints directly through sharp perspective A gift to viewers is his objective Inspired heart bleeds a deeper shade of red This snapshot of his soul, on canvas bled. No food or water when he really grooves Like when planets collide, his paintbrush moves Absorbed expression seeing over hues Emotion beats in yellow, green, or blue. Hints of the Master in soft undertones, Emphasized brush strokes; Thy beauty is honed. Listening to music, painting his heart His work speaks well of him as they depart A vision he had, his talents to give His painting a treasure, forever to live Joy unsurpassed, both taken and given. Gifts that hands learned, oh, Master in heaven. CONTRIBUTING POETS ( in Alphabetical Order) Carolyn Devonshire, Yoni Dvorkis, James Fraser, James Marshall Goff, Abe Lopez, Raul Moreno, Ruben Ortellao, Carrie Richards, Dane Smith-Johnsen

I like seeing how all the other poets work with the prior material. creative collaboration is still new to me. It was a good topic to write about, plus you being the artist among us. You should read the poem over and then paint something that reflects the message Dane:) Then send us all a link. Circle of Art completes itself.
