Close ups
Oil on 5x7 hardboard.
This is my submission to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Elizabeth supplied the photo.
Elizabeth also issued a challenge: To write a poem to go with your painting.
In the spirit of the WDE challenge, I tried to come up with a poem ( I'm no poet...now everyone will know it
)."Sweet words put to paper,
How like you are to me,
To brush strokes laid on canvas,
Bearing souls to see."

Dean, this is absolutely beautiful, truly. I love everything about it! Suddenly, I picture Mary Shelley at her desk writing Frankenstein...or some of the other women writers of old...the romance, the history...Beautifully composed photo you had to work from too! (And I like the poem, too!)
ReplyDeleteDean you did a great job on both the painting and the poem.
ReplyDeleteHow brave you are to take up such challenges. And it cannot turn out better than this! Cute poem too!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry...Yes I can see how this subject matter could conjure up thoughts of Shelly and her great story!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lokelani! Good to "see" you here. :)
ReplyDeleteSome of the challenges really make me break out "in a sweat", so to speak. But they often enliven me by pulling me out of my comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for you kind word, Marie.
Dean, Beautiful painting. thanks for the close ups. Makes me want to go paint something.

ReplyDeleteDean, this is great! I especially like that metal ink jar!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant, Dean - beautifully painted. A great poem too.
ReplyDeleteHa Dean! Great poem to go with this beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela...Grab those brushes and make the paint fly! LOL.

ReplyDeleteHi Deb...Thanks. That ink bottle was a strange collection of colors. That what made it interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Edward and Liz...I enjoyed the painting as well as the challenge to come up with a poem. Veeeery interesting.

ReplyDeleteHi Celeste...Thanks for commenting! Poetry is far too hard on my little noggin.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara...So nice to "see' you.
ReplyDeleteThis has a nice feeling about it dean - very nice. Not a bad poem either;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Dean!.... The painting as always... is of the highest calibre... and the poem?
ReplyDelete"You" sell your Self short Dean! This "exposed" form... has all the same colour... structure and appeal of your usual choice of expression!
Good stuff Dean!

Bruce
