AS AN ARTIST SEES

 

 

Braving the foaming seas

adrift in a boat with no oars

the colour of wind as it soars,

seen as an artist sees.

    The artists eye can see so many colours that come to life on the canvas.

    • Michael Edwards

      What colour is a tree trunk? All the colours of the rainbow if you look closely - not just brown as an untrained eye will perceive. Thanks Andy.

      A fine write and pic Michael. You gone boating?!

      • Michael Edwards

        I'm off in a pedal boat which should have been recycled years ago.

        • orchidee

          Have you sunk? Any holes in it?!

          But I hope the boat with no oars finds its way back so you can paint what you saw!

          • Michael Edwards

            Oh it will - it's got a motor lol 🙂 Thanks Lorna

          • Laura🌻

            That boat with no oars will find its way back! No doubt!
            ...and The Artist will color that wind which he saw soaring!

            Michael,
            A great verse accompanied by a great pic! Super!

              Thanks so much Laura - holding an Open Studio this weekend and going well but so tiring for an old fella - but at least it funds the hobby !!

              • Laura🌻

                Have one of your great gin & tonics and everything will be swell!

                Turner comes to my minds eye.So much emotion in his moody seascapes. Colour of the wind indeed! I can almost feel it on my face.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Turner conveyed the winds with a wonderful use of pigments - thanks for your kind comments dusk.

                  The EYES of an ARTIST
                  The EARS of a COMPOSER
                  The NOSE of a PERFUMER
                  The VOICE of a Bel Canto SINGER
                  The MIND of a PROFESSOR
                  The DOUBLE-MIND of a POLITICIAN
                  The TOUCH of a LOVER !

                  You are an ARTIST Michael so see how you see
                  But promise to convey it to canvas then to MPS
                  So we can all enjoy it TOO ~ BRIAN

                  Thanks love the POEM & the PINK Fragaria

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Thanks Brian - I will paint the sea and post here in the next few days - I promise.

                    I think you're very blessed to be able to show your unique view into the world by word and paint. We are artists of words but you are an artist by both. So blessed. Love this. You are right about artists seeing the world more clearly. More detailed. I've noticed it before but you've expressed it in your unique way. Love it.
