O laf  Weig horst (4 syllables)

Copying famous art is permissible as long as the piece is signed
with your name and underneath adding "after the artist's name," 
as seen above beneath my painting

Wild horses, prairies, desert canyons, Native Indians, brush landscapes by 'Dean of Western Painters' known as Olaf Wieghorst. His contrast boldness, softened with light blended hues, stirred my heart. Inspired to capture his moving art, passion pushed to reproduce his famed Navaho masterpiece; every brushstroke chosen to grasp his canyon, mother and child on stone bluff framed by rock.

Thank you very much, Susan, for your lovely visit with your very supportive, uplifting, and complimentary comments. Sometimes poetic and artistic aptitudes are offered together as 'sister arts', and I was fortunate. I always appreciate your empathetic and kind words. Warmest wishes to you, my friend, and thank you again. Hugs, Sandra

Once again, thank you, Sneha. I used to paint a lot in the past, but I am more involved with poetry these days. Thank you so much for your uplifting comment. Hugs, Sandra

I am not familiar with the painter, but I do know good poems and this is one. Good luck, Sandra (I think, like me, that perhaps you enjoy the 'assignment' part of contests - make sense?) CayCay
