I testify to your skill, Michael!
Enjoyed the acrostic
complemented by your
painting! Great work!
Thanks once again Laura for your kind comments
Truly a piece of art in all facets, so clever and unique. Keep sharing, can't wait to read more.
You're too kind - much appreciated
Good write and pic Michael. Spiritual words there: salvation; creation; testify. Also 'interpret' in interpretation of people speaking in tongues. Some do all the time, but not as a gift. it's natural waffle for them! They dunno what they're on about. Same applies to all of us at times?! lol.
Anything that rhymes with 'shun' is okay by me - thanks Orchi.
Good work
Over both mediums
One look removes
Doubts from the mind
You are too kind - thanks Andy.
Your art with both brush and pen is stunningly good Michael - so pleased to have your regular and inspirational contributions on this friendly site. Great acrostic.
So many kind words this morning I'm feeling quite smug - must go and have another coffee. Thank you Fay.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ for me ART is very cathartic and I have a Friend who is an Art Therapist. I only use water colour and mainly my subjects are SF ! We teach ACRYLIC at the College where I work so I may progress to that in the New Year ! Love the Village Scene ~ Villages are the Gem Stones of the UK ~ Yours BRIAN.
Thanks Brian - the painting is watercolour and was drawn in black india ink with a stick from the hedgerow. Love using a stick as you don't have full control and get some great effects as a result.
A wonderful acrostic to accompany your painting! I've never seen an english countryside, but I imagine thats how it looks! Nice!
Thanks Christina - yes this is typical of our villages and most of my watercolours feature English country scenes.
Good stuff Michael, like the stick comment also
Thanks Bill - give it a go = it's great fun.
Erm, what rhymes with 'orange' or one of those seemingly un-rhymable words.
It needs to rhyme with 'inge' (orange), so door 'inge! heehee.
I don't half spout some rubbish!.
Caught me finger in the hinge
Boy did I cringe
The nails going black all round the fringe
but musn’t whinge
I’d drain the blood if I had a syringe
a good excuse to go on the binge
I’ll catch the coach in livery orange?
What’s a bloody orange got to do with anything?
Erm, well I read somewhere that 'orange' was almost impossible to rhyme! But there's more difficult words surely.
Purple, gulf gouge? Actually you're right - orange doesn't rhyme with anything except an obscure hill in Wales.
You did well with the 'inge' rhymes M. For purple - what rhymes with 'all (purp-all); 'ulf' for gulf; 'ouge' for gouge!
you are the true ARTIST.
Thank you so much m&m
Great write and Great Picture
Very clever. Congratulations!
