- In this Interdisciplinary Still Life Painting,
"Mona Lisa," an original oil on panel, I was inspired
to create a realer than real painting image including a violin
and sheet music with my original song and melody. I created this
work in response to the idea that so much of what we love about
Art and in life, is the fact that one's own desires are often
what is reflected back in the process of admiration. The painting
of Mona Lisa has unburdened the feelings of untold numbers of
admirers. Here are some of my sentiments.
First I wrote the song and melody then I painted this artwork.
-
- "MONA LISA"
Mona Lisa, what secrets do you hold that
- in words can't begin to be told.
-
- I believe your soulful fires are
only the reflection
- in the mirror of my own desires.
- .
- If I suddenly could no longer see,
I'd still sing this song
- just to keep my heart from going
astray.
You spread my spirit thin in a whirlwind, and I wonder
- can I ever really fall out of love
with you.
-
- If I took off on a tear down a desert
roads wit's end would I
- find you waiting with wildflowers
in your hair.
I think I found the key to your ancient mystery when you
- stole my love away with your magical
Gemini eyes.
