Arty stuff No 8

An artist called Johannes Vermeer,
Was quietly drinking a beer,
A girl with an earring
Said something endearing,
So he smiled and thought "That's an idea!"...

Vermeer would have loved this corner to paint
It has the Dutch colors, sliver of sunshine ambiance
I took out my brushes and paints, and began to mix
So many diverse turquoises, could I capture them?
I resolved to try...

So little evidence remains
Of Vermeer's ups+downs+pains-
Happily,his art,his epitaph

In marble mortar his pestle struck
fragmented vermilion flakes,
ground fine into powder base
"The Girl with a wine glass"
Artist's current work
Sunburst highlights
Satin sheen

thru
       the keyhole
of domestic
         virtue
a woman
               sits
                    questioning
                       concerned
a focussed
      intimacy
of
the
          eternal
              nature
unguarded
   moments

 generational
  &  contemporary

MUSIC GIRL
when the music ends-
we no longer can pretend
LETTER GIRL
a few words
can make us ill-
or better
WINEGLASS GIRL
a girl with a glass
chateau red-
a touch of class
NECKLACE GIRL
mirror to face
with a necklace-
memory without a trace
PENSIVE LADY
lost in thought,
she sighs...caught
by vermeers eyes
PIANO GIRL
sing and play
concert,piano forte-
art,forgotten today...

VERMEER’S GIRLS
Girl with a jug or necklaced
with pearls,lute and guitar
over the centuries seen from
afar.In intricate detail,a patient
design, of portraits in time.
These looks of love into
eternity’s mirror.Their beauty
his art with a delicate touch,now
frozen in time.Which muse shall
we choose,and which to lose.
