“Art is the medium by which a person, having experienced an emotion, intentionally transmits it to others” – Leo Tolstoy
A bleak monotonous landscape,
Had been her outlook for years.
She so vehemently longed to escape.
The young woman fought back tears.
Christina’s world was internment.
Trapped in a body with muscles decaying.
Poor dear lacked discernment,
Her will to walk, her spirit not obeying.
Muscular Dystrophy restricted her being.
Crawling helplessly across the field,
The horizon beyond is all she will be seeing.
Determined to create an impenetrable shield.
To separate her from her crippling disorder.
Forcing herself daily, her bent limbs to be unfurled.
In spite of her debilitating marauder,
In pain Miss Christina Olson seeks to view the world.

Andrew Newell Wyeth the artist
An American realist painter
Choice subjects were local land
And people around him
His art reflects plight
A father's hold
Keeping him
Very
Close
Andrew Newell Wyeth-July 12, 1917-January 16, 2009.
His art has an emotional pull that seems to draw me in.
Inspired by Nayda Ivette Negron's contest favorite painter.

He called them the great men
Thoreau, Goethe, Emerson, Tolstoy
Yet even as a child, I discovered Wyeth's greatness
“Christina’s World” called to me
fascinated child, as mama shopped
Christina’s painting intrigued me for hours
Blind neighbor, his inspiration
Christina was lying in a field of wheat
Saleslady explained her sad life
Glorified only in Wyeth's detailed, brilliant strokes
Staring at her so long at age eight
Mama bought the print on which I still marvel
*Pennsylvania Artist Andrew Wyeth received the National Medal of Arts in 2006 and died
just 10 days after my father on January 16, 2009. His most well-known work is Christina’s world

Artist Andrew Wyeth
Quite a comical man
One day he painted his neighbor's portrait
But only his old work boots portrayed
