Michael's Artistic World

Goldfinch60



Once more art has struck me down.

The picture appeared before me

And I stopped,

My life stopped and I was drawn in,

Drawn into the world of the artist.

I looked into the picture,

The longer I looked

The further my mind became part,

Part of the wonder,

The wonder of the art.

I left my real world and I walked,

Walked into that dream,

That dream created,

Created by the artist,

That creation became my dream,

My dream of beauty, peace and wonder.

  • Michael Edwards

    That's fabulous tribute Andy - I feel so flattered and some poem about the wonder of art generally for all those who have an open mind.. Thank you so much.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Michael, as you know as far as art and music is concerned I do have an open mind and am prepared to look at and listen to all.
      It was a pleasure to write a piece about your superb artwork.

      Yes, a fine write on the pics Gold. Just hoping no one looks into (or hears) me singing. Would have to put it in the 'horror' genre! lol.

    • Poetic Dan

      Fantastically done made me want to visit and see!

      • Goldfinch60

        Thanks Dan, it is there to be seen.

        Come back Goldfinch! Don't take another step. Thats porridge you are wading through in the picture and on a foggy day.

        A fine tribute to our resident artist and how he leads you astray.

          Don't worry d a, I am not going far there is still too much art and too much music to listen to before I go.

          As with music art can transport me into a world of wonder and beauty.

          Finding wonder in the laying of colour on a watery bed could never be bettered than to dwell for while on pictures by Michael - - a fine tribute to a worthy artist and thank you for posting it Andy.

              The art that mesmerize you, and takes one to a land of imagination, where you are compelled to so artistically express yourself, is a compliment to art itself.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Suresh, yes I can get mesmerized by art, it just pulls me into it and as with this artwork I have to write about some of it.

              • Neville

                the painting in question is indeed kinda mesmerizing.. I certainly enjoyed it and can fully appreciate how one might get the feeling of being drawn into it, just as you say in your very fitting tribute today...... Neville

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Neville, there is certainly something compelling about that artwork.

                  • Neville

                    absolutely ...
