The artist’s eye
capturing color
creating a smile
*
what does he display
palette and paint
life to portray
**
a story he is writing
with strokes of a brush
others he’s inviting

I have been around artists all of my life. They are an unusual breed. Some like to be in the public as they study and paint while others like to be alone as creation (to them) is a solitary business. The artist of old could not rely on a photograph to capture a scene so many artists would paint on-site or have an incredible photographic memory.
Today’s poem is a preface to a month where I will feature art and the artist on Friday Feature.
