Your work well describes the loneliness Oskar feels when Alma leaves him, Brian. Wonderful words in a very creative verse!

This is a great Ekphrasis, Brian. The portrait of Alma Myer is lovely, soft ad light especially compared o the others I viewed. I was wowed by the double portrait that he painted with his fingertips and I like the thought of painting what lies behind the person face as we are not still lifes. Very interesting artist! Thank you for your kind thoughts! Love, Robin
