I get so many thought on that place that we cannot name.
Once more Michael, thank you for the first laugh of the morning.

Ha - Michael - Am smiling at this quirky play on words -- How is that so early in the day your wit is awake and at its work while I am still brushing the sleep from my eyes. - - Lurve that watercolour my talented friend.

KAZIMIR MALEVICH WHITE ON WHITE
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Russians excel at just about everything they attempt.

Kazimir Malevich introduced the art world to depth and volume without color in your referenced \"White on White.\"

I visited Russia a few decades ago and you\'d be surprised at how accomplished they are in many areas, including arts and science.

Your poem is an excellent tribute to Malevich as well as culminating in a dare for the reader.

Great job!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING MICHAEL ~ ANGELA & I are both afficianados of Modern & Abstract Art. I give a talk on Wharhol and one \"Chocolate Box Painter\" (Village Scenes like Yours) said \"Any Fool could paint a can of Campbell\'s Soup\" I asked him what was a most he had been paid for one of his Paintings. He replied £100 as a commission to paint a Man\'s House in a more Sylvan environment. I then asked him was he alive when ANDY painted his Soup Cans he said yes. Well I replied the one I showed recently sold for £5 million ~ why didn\'t you paint them ! NO REPLY.
In Liverpool a Lady won an art prize (£1000) with White on White the next year she won £2000 with Black on Black ! The next year (£ 3000) she submitted her CHESS BOARD and still won ~ AMEN ! Shades of Tracy Ennems Unmade Bed. MODERN ART is: Any shapes of any colour on any background ~ usually constrained in a geometrical 2D shape ~ OK ~ Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN ~ Young enough to understand & appreciate ABSTRACT ART & MUSIC etc !

Michael,

Good morning! Hope you’re feeling better.

I had the pleasure of admiring Kazimir Malevich’s artwork at the MoMA! There I was introduced to his WHITE ON WHITE and other paintings...quite extraordinary to say the least!
You have reminded me of his work through your exceptional write and art piece! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!

Why yes, here\'s my picture \'White on White\'...………………… see it? Anyone could paint that! heehee.
Though I\'ve become more used to abstracts lately. Could never afford any though.
Now a \'Silent Poem\'. It goes on for 3,647 verses. No words in it though (You\'re pulling my leg, Orchi).

Goldfinch60 said:

As you know Michael I have a very open mind when it comes to art. I wish to thank you for introducing me to an artist I had not known. I have just had a brief glimpse on the web about him and one of the things that it seemed to show that \"White on white\" is quite a change from the other works that I have seen where black seems to dominate.
The few works of his that I have seen are intriguing so I will have to look further into his works.
Thank you for the introduction.

If only the doubters could open their minds - but some minds are closed. A work of art has to depict a recognisable subject - but with this mindset a whole world is closed to you.

A MELLOW PLACE
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

You paint such a beautiful canvas with melodic words that continually flow to express such a wonderful tale.

An excellent write, as usual, Michael. I loved it. :-)

THANKS UNCLE MIKE : An elegantly penned quartet of free verse sextets !
V 1. A mellow Place
V 2. A pensive Face
V 3. Betrayal of Grace
V 4. Completed Race

Love the Hockneyesque abstract ! As orientated it clearly depicts David Wallians executing his epic \"Thames Swim\" which echoes your Poem at an abstract level ! Yours as always BRIAN.

Beautiful write Michael, some people do listen and understand.

Like the artwork very much. (Less is more?)

A fine write Michael. I admit I get lost in some more \'poetical\' sorts of poems, or if cryptically explained, as in some things going \'over my hand\'. No, not an aeroplane! lol.

HI UNCLE MIKE : Genetics is an amazing Subject and I guess the X-sperm : De Mi Padre : was a good swimmer (which I am also !) to reach Mi Madres Ovum first. Healthy Sperm produce Healthy Babies !

Michael,

Love these entertaining shorties!
Those little “swimmers” are champions! They always find their way!

I love your painting! It reminds me of my town square where I’ve taken and still take many pleasant strolls when I’m there!

Hope you’re doing better!

All the best...

orchidee said:

I\'m too old M.! I walked out of a draughty church half-way through today. I\'m a heretic! I made a sneaky exit during prayers - all hands together, eyes closed, so they didn\'t see me.
It was all oldies - that can\'t be helped though. Kiddies were in the church hall in their groups. But organ was half clapped out; various mutterings and mumblings; and I couldn\'t focus, not getting warm enough. Seems like \'The living dead\'. Rant over!
That\'ll teach me to go to the wrong service. The one I wanted is this evening, but too far to go in the evening.
