The Perfect Painting

I am walking in the sunshine.
I am feeling the breeze.
I am talking to a stranger.
Scenes that changes constantly.

I was a victim of a tsunami.
The ocean came ashore.
The wind blew furiously.
Many cities were destroyed.

Perfect paintings are on display.
The Art Museum is open today.

A vase filled with roses is the centerpiece.
The table is covered beautifully.
Standing by window is a cat.
The carpet is torn and water was spilled.

A collection so hone hangs from the wall.
The arrangement makes a statement of perfection.

The cathedral is scenic to the countryside.
A theme of artistic representation canvas defines.
The congregation has gather outside.
The discussion of the viewers is hype.

All enjoyed this compendium.
Several paintings sold for millions.

Dear Verlena, How frightening it must have been to witness a tsunami coming ashore! Of course, you may have meant this in a metaphorical sense. Still, thinking of the damage water can cause to "perfect paintings," is very sad. (Just received a DVD of the movie "Hereafter" and it begins with a tsunami. Amazing film. Congratulations on your success in the contest. Carolyn
