There were trim grains in the wood
that framed the streaming light
from a window early bright

which bent with a firm bristle

forms from a sweet morn.

 

Strokes of a strong hand,

"he's painting"

I said to the pillow.

to none, was I explaining 
but he was there,

with his Modigliani oils

laying his soul bare.

 

 

Medium streaming thumb

in the mouth of palette

in cool colored thoughts

of blue-eyed mysticism,

Guacamole hues and the many,

warmed robes of Saratoga.

I felt a respect for the artistic process of creativity...
I also felt a strong nostalgia here...
This is like a painting in words. Details left just a little unfinished and each word like a paint stroke of intention to direct the mind of the observer.
Three cheers to Saratoga nights...

Dreaming of as painter perhaps with his exquisite work of art maybe painting you in the nude or not but I'm not sure with cool colored thoughts. An excellent write...:)........

What a fantastic write this painting has inspired! "he's painting".....oh, yes, the partner to the artist must understand or the relationship will never work. Beautifully written. Lydi**

'Strokes of a strong hand,

i love poetry about light and this is a real gem. i like the shutters in the painting and the gaudy green of her dress. even better for a second read! fantastic.

Thank you G.O.D. :)

Now you know I'm going to enjoy this one. The Matisse adds of course to the ambience.

[Corset]

Thank you so much, I was thinking about the resemblance to the style to Modigliani with the long box neck on her, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

"Guacamole hues and the many,
warmed robes of Saratoga."

Thank you so much, it was a waking dream, you should have seen the one i had last night, girls were doing the bump and singing the strangest little song, I wrote it down but I don't think it's appropriate for prime time television :P

this appears to be a woman lying bed, watching her lover paint...admiring the mysticism, the art of him that has more to do than just with painting.

"in the mouth of palette/in cool colored thoughts"

i love those lines.

Thank you so much Jacob :)
