Notes About The Poem

What Fascinates Me

 "Art washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life."

                             Quote by _Picasso 

I love to immerse myself in art ...
    to submerge my soul ... and saturate my mind
      and become engaged and enriched
        I am left a more enhanced person 
when surrounded with art I am nourished
          it shakes the ocean of my sleep

      ~   I step into an ethereal world of landscapes 
                   and set sail on a journey
when I enter the art gallery  ~

          adore the European Christian paintings, 
   the Renaissance and Gothic paintings I love too
                      even the frames interest me 
I am very inspired by Contemporary

   there is an interior garden to rest and ponder
        and a re-creation of a catholic church to pray
weekly I let my eyes 'drink'  it all in

      ~  while there I visit my friends Monet, Van Gogh, 
      Botticelli, Bellini, Raphael and Michelangelo
Titan, Rubens, Hogarth, Picasso, Leonardo
              and so many more  ~ 

    I stand still-   my mind on fine threads of thought
         and each visit is  ... fascinating
... I leave in awe .. full of inspiration

Rico Leffanta May 21, 2022 at 11:37 AM I have always found art to be confusing; the task is to discover how the artist found the subject to be "beautiful" or worthy of remembrance. Aloha! Constance La France May 21, 2022 at 1:53 PM Rico, thank you so much for the visit, I interpret the painting the way I feel it, blessing ~ Constance

Paul Callus May 21, 2022 at 2:42 AM This kind of poem is also capable of fascinating the reader, Constance! Art can be so inspiring, depending on the mood, paintings especially. ~ Have a lovely weekend // paul Constance La France May 21, 2022 at 1:55 PM Paul, thank you so much for the wonderful comment, and the compliment, blessings ~ Constance
