This is an acrylic painting I painted, "Eureka Springs Irises" and a poem, "Painting" I wrote. I combined the two for this inspirational piece. Hope you enjoy!
beautiful creation, both the wonderful poem and image. the text is a little hard to read, but I can't help noticing that as I've been a graphic artist for many years. The overall effect is one of love and joy in life and really beautiful.
Sharon, We seem to share similar sentiments. I feel my talent is God given. It reminds me of the parable of the talents...and I feel that I have finally pulled my talent out from under the stone and I'm trying to do something with it before the Master returns.
It is wonderful for you that this day and this insight came. Poetry and painting is the expression of real freedom of the mind to my opinion. And there comes this moment that you realise it. A good statement in a very fine poem.
beautiful Painting and poem Sharon!I love the part about the art being latent,and something inside you that emerged after so many years,It is interesting when this happens,i believe we are born with the seed of what will be,but sometimes it takes years to flower,I didnt realize my talents for art untill very recent years,and It kind of came as a surprise,to say the least,This poem and beautiful painting really resonated with me!!!
Beautifu!!!
