Still Art For Art’s Sake

Neville

Still Art For Art’s Sake

 

There are bits of me that

clearly

don’t work anymore and

are therefore,

more or less redundant ..

Yet still,

all that is missing today are

a set of fine

sable hair brushes, a pen,

a note-pad,

a box of assorted pastels,

a place with a

view and job lot of canvasses ..

    En plein air?

    • Neville


      I find it takes the edge off things .. a bit like zazen but with a touch of colour .. 😎👍

      • Doggerel Dave

        Another rabbit hole (gotta humanely dispose of the rabbit)…. I would have to follow your example (if rhyming verse weren't enough) as the Lotus Position and arthritic joints aren’t really compatible.....

      • Michael Edwards

        Come join me in the studio. I'm still happiest when trying out some new technique or explrinf different ideas. Nice one Neville.

        • Neville


          Thanks Michael .. I would love to tag along & learn from a real grand master .. Neville

          • Michael Edwards

            You'll always be welcome - plenty of spare bedrooms - just say the word.

            I could let you have most of those except the canvases Neville but I could probably get them from my daughter.

                  • rebellion_in_sanity

                    Stunning poem; felt like telling me that one's regret of dying creativity is compelling him to be uniquely creative.. beautiful perspective...loved it!

                    • Neville



                      I really am glad you could make it my friend .. thanks loads n loads .. Neville

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Art for art’s sake sounds like a great day to me! Well done friend! I now want to pull out my charcoals and pastels and go to town! 🌹👏

                      • Neville



                        Sounds a bit like a Jethro Tull album Pastels in the Gallery .. thanks Tristan, I couldn't resist that .. 👍

                      • Cassie58

                        Your creative side always shines through Neville . Whether words in your poetry books or paint on canvas or pastel drawings. Once creative, you don’t lose it. It’s always there even if you haven’t painted or drawn in pastels for a while. 💜

                        • Neville



                          When you know, you know .. and my word, how you know Cassie .. bless you n truly .. 💜

                            • sorenbarrett

                              The makings of an artist. Whether paint or print the color comes through. Well done, mate.

                              • Neville



                                I try to keep it quiet .. but every now and then it roars .. N

                              • Cheeky Missy

                                If only I'd not initially taken up that form of art I might join you, but having already dabbled in it, I'll leave it to you others whose hopes in such fair prospects have still a leg to stand on. I prefer sonnets, for myself. Daintily rendered with excellent imagery and a teasing poignancy, thank you for sharing.

                                • Neville



                                  Each to their own as my mother once used to say often .. thanks for calling Missy .. Neville
