IRRESISTIBLE – Two sketches

Bella Donna 
 
At distance 
She had beauty of form –
A kind of neutral simplicity
Which added perfumed color
To those surround

Closing on subject
One might notice a slight pink rush
On her blossom face
A deep emerald glow
Striking the eye

The meeting is sudden
One yearns to touch
Ah...

Premium Member Sketches of Dew
The lake is a plate of evening blue 
Here where mists of dew sprinkle the view 
Under lilting skies the undulating sea 
Stretches far beyond infinity 
Silent and calm, no hint of green 
Smooth as silk with translucent sheen 


Rippling blue as far as fingers...

Sketches 14
The young boy was pale, 
He walked slowly in the alley 
No. 41.His skeleton hand hold a rusted tin can. 
He was in business,for him it was. 

On his innocent face, 
In a modern world,who really forgotten 
Kids like him was also human too.His eyes...

Premium Member Sketches
Wayside artist in calm poise,
Sits down with bright dreamy eyes;
Makes a sketch in easy voice.


Water colour painting sighs,
Mental picture in a swirl;
A craftsman's touch as tints ply.


Sets his sights on landscape world,
Colours and shades now mix with light;
A touch, a blot, paintbrush twirls.


Part by part...

That's what I write - - -
Sketches
Sketches of life
as they pop 
into my head
striking at all hours
wherever, whenever
I try to carry a note pad
so I can capture
these bursts of inspiration
as I realize
my time as an Artist
is all encompassing
while I enjoy
the days and nights
with a fascination
that...

City mall gallery
Artist impacts easy
Artwork transcends crazy


So many works of art
Thought-pictures fix head start
Sensorial feel imparts


Style fashions new textures
Images seed pictures
Colours merge bold fixtures


Watch the human being
Frame and trace becoming
Freeze-frame a picturing


Colours and shades and tints
Hands create a sure mint
Landscapes haunting now hint


Faces painted in...

WINTER SKETCHES

winter’s got me down
drifts of snow have turned dirty
sunlight doesn’t help
but a sudden spring rustle
this swooping pair of blue jays…

tow’ring backyard tree
upward far as i can see
a look – i’m dizzy
then chattering brings me round
tiny feet on frozen ground...

Fine line drawing
Sketches of simple things
Artistic interpretations


Line art sculptures
Pencil engravings
Visions of harmony


Etchings in clear lines
Black on white shades
Grey tints impact


Notice the familiar
In artistic strokes
Lines in sure tangent


Graceful lines shape
Define the picture play
Still life subjects


Drawings in 2D
Live on paper sheets
Touch of focus art


Cryptic memory
Assembles in greyscale
Mental...

Mindset moves me to treasure traits,
Yes yields plenty as wander finds.
Wear wonder well where wisdom waits,
Opt sure fancy with discrete mind;
Rouse up the feel of certain thought,
Discern the trace for craft that flings.
Sense how time thrills the fate you plot,
Know time claims space in change...

No Greater Gift Than Thee

Across the floor and beyond the tree
   there is no greater gift than thee,
to think, that a year of neglect can be purchased.

Do you recall when we adorned our conifer topped with His Majesty
   and we sung...
