- In this Still Life Painting with Poem, "Ancient
Soul," an original oil on panel, I wanted to create an arrangement
that would allow me to place this poem about creating Art in
the subject matter.
-
- Occasionally I will write a poem which I
believe is a good and solid poem, this is one of them. (the other
is "Passionate Palette",
No. 151)
-
- ANCIENT SOUL
-
- Ancient is the air, alive with an
evergreen scent
- of mastic and medium.
-
- Anxious are the virgin colors of
puddled pigments
- beckoning bristles loving blendings.
-
- Limitless is the cosmos of the pure
white canvas
- not yet ruled by lines forces and
forms.
-
- Searching is the way beyond the illusion
of a mere painting's
- surfaces into life's depths and dimensions.
-
- Fearsome can be the sweetness of
the act of the creation
- of an object in which the world will
see my soul.
