Notes:
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
