Farmer's son Jean-Francois -MilletM
known rural scenes in his day
Small scale reflections were his thing
medetative art he did bring
Reclusive Arthur Dove
small scale was is first love
Unappreciated critiques were rife
for his collage&assemblages were his life
CASCADES
of anguished
brilliance
appears
to be shared
with the self-aware
&
vulnerable
unsuccessful
but
provides a
self-image
in
multiple ways
with
complicated
intentions
&circumstances
thoughts&
touch
a single
state of mind
each
leave their trace
a personal style
all played
out
on a
small scale
derived
from looking
at the face
in shadowed
interplay
a transition
surrounded
& faded to nothing
in a disconcerting
way
between self
&image
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

A lot of sweat gives us pain.
The forest is likely to rain.
Tropical roundwood hugged in stain.
Fossil hydrocarbon and its contain.
People reject geological abstain.
In small patches, dioramas are aware.
Often, in the remote, we felt the stare.
Small-thicket Cantigi snare.
Small-scale landholders blare.
Gave us a nightmare!
With Charles Demuthwe must look&look
as no guidance can be found in a book
A leading art Precionist
in small scale views he did persist

Richard Parkes Bonnington was an artistic ace
of small scale picturesque place*
Dying of TB far too young
his career having only just begun

Fluid interaction
of poise & rhythm
spirals float
linear lines
circular shapes
small scale
fascination of freshness
perception personified
touches the eye
of the beholder
A floating tension
between weight&
lightness
reflections &
symbolic sensations
abstract &realism
combine
in tactile relief
long incised lines
of beauty
where enigma lies

upstairs
the hammers of a piano
mechanically stomp through a tune
as unwilling fingers
prod at a well-known student piece
a small scottie dog appears
wearing a tartan coat
a light hibernian them
clambers into my head
later
a young child joins me
to sit on the house stoop
I ask her if she likes clementi
the look in her eyes
warns me never to ask again
a small-scale baby grand joins us
sniffs at the little girl and growls
then runs along the sidewalk
looking for someone to play with
upstairs

later
a young child joins me
to sit on the house stoop
I ask her if she likes clementi
the look in her eyes
warns me never to inquire again
the dog is huffing melodically
as it takes a dead composer
for a walk
a small-scale baby grand joins us
sniffs at the little girl – growls
then runs up and down the sidewalk
looking for someone to play with
Fluid interaction of poise & rhythm spirals float,linear lines,curcular shapes,small scale domestique in design.A fascination of freshness,perception personified touches the eye of the beholder.A floating tension betweenweight& lightness create reflections & symbolic sensations within.Abstract and realism combine,tactile in relief along incised lines of beauty where enigma lie.
The natural& the normal,synthetic yet,small scale,regular and the
irregular, embossed.Illumed in the artificial light .Drawings and legible forms intrique and beguile creating mind-games in memory.
Characature & cartoon avant-garde of the geometric in three dimensional desire.
Tachiste,blot and stain,spontaneous of the moment ,like life itself can so often be small scale in composition,compulsive unrecognised at the time,yet literal and long lasting,are the memories we see
