Sandra Haight Poet Nonet

Notes About The Poem

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

Tribute To 'Navaho Madonna'

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.
