Miniature painting of a portrait artist (saint Luke, recognizable because of the ox, painting the Virgin Mary) with easel (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The artist’s brush
Paints me
And I awaken
The canvas soft
Supports me
And I breathe
The colours bright
Adorn me
And I dance
And when you gaze
Upon my portrait
I’m alive

Reblogged this on Poetry by Pamela.
This is such an astute understanding of art, that from an artists perspective you want the work to be alive, to give the impression of his/hers perception of the subject. I do see this poem as operating on several levels. I really like how you are created the images of composition.
Thank you so much, your comments are always so thoughtful and kind!! 🙂 🙂
