Friendship and hope
Gratitude springs
Rich in colour
Optimism sings
For a future yet
To be unwound
Such dreams
Come crashing down.
The sunlight
Portrays the heart
A gentle man
With passion carved
Still believing
Before the cloud
Of depression
Loneliness is found.
The glowing petals
Cascading out
To greet the day
In hope to shout
But frustration fell
The flowers died
Judgement clouded
Deep tears cried.

A painter with so much mental turmoil that he expressed on canvass in bright colors of joy and pain. Nicely written
thanking you as always and much appreciated
You are most welcome
A fine write N. Erm, can we buy that original painting for 50p from a second hand shop?! lol.
I wish, just think what I could buy at costcutters or even buy a no 7 bus lol
Heehee, then you could catch the bus any time you wished! lol.
Are costcutters having us on? Have they cut the cost?! lol.
Some naughty corner shops don't display any prices, We could be charged anything at the till.
sell the painting and buy the shop lol
Yes lol. Got any paintings of weeds? Could they fetch millions?! lol.
Wonderful words about a wonderful artist Norman.
