The plien Air Painter

The Plien Air Painter

 

Reality seems to dissipate

and the gates to heaven creek,

Devoid of the  day’s  meaningless toils

 he enters a heavenly peace.

 

 stood in on a ridge like an eagle,   

The painters begins his day ,

The artist prays  to the angels 

To guide his brush this day .

to  hitch a ride on the slip-stream ,

of knowledge and creative grace,

and capture more than life as seen

 to reach that heavenly place.

 

Dancing  between the mountains,

Rivers  trees  and  fields, 

his brush becomes his broom stick,

 the truth he hopes to reveal .

for what is the artist if not a magician of his/her craft. To take words or paint and convey the feeling of a moment caught in eternity is a gift born in a selected few. You have that gift! I enjoyed this read greatly. Liam

hello Ray

I don't think I can say it any better than Liam has. It is so true that an artist is a magician. An artist sees things differently than the average person. Enjoy this wonderful gift. My favorite lines: Dancing between the mountains, Rivers trees and fields, his brush becomes his broom stick, the truth he hopes to reveal . Always, Cat (just a few small problems with punctuation)
