sensual flower
Mediterranean hued
soft ripened petals
titivate tousled allure
exquisitely feminine
(This is a rare case for me, where the painting inspired the poem. I almost always write first and then seek out a complementary image. But this painting captivated me.)
I love it! It makes me want to start painting again. Many years ago, my work was in Ro Gallery, in New York. I lived in North Carolina, where I had a private art studio and taught classes in acrylics, but my passion was oils…and I wouldn’t teach that. God Bless you Paul, Barb

Its a beautiful painting. She seems so beautiful, and thoughtful, as if her eyes are trying to speak from those silent canvas.
Beautiful poem too. Such a great read on a sunday evening for me.

She is a Beauty (I love it when I can write from a painting/photo, rather than have to hunt one down to go with my poem–my invisible secretary’s s’posed to that, but he’s always AWOL–you get what you pay for).

It was fun for me when I started out, 2 years ago–now it just takes up time I don’t have.

Beautiful! I get inspired to write by photos and other times I seek out the photo that best suits my theme. And sometimes, no picture necessary 🙂

Oh, I thought the process was the other way around – that you look at images then spin out some poetry to suit it. That was my handle on how you could be so prolific. How humbling.

Whichever way you do it, you always have just the right words for the image. I always rather thought you were inspired by the images as your words seem to say exactly what is contained within them. How marvellous that there is, already existing, art that speaks after your words. A little miracle of common thought coming together at the chosen moment.
She is strenuously beautiful with contemplative eyes. I can quite see why you were captivated. x
