line and shadow
a knowing to convey
line and shadow
echoes of heart at play
line and shadow
the revelation real
line and shadow
beauty beyond conceal
line and shadow
truth and soul
sought by the artist's hand
so be the gifts of Presence
in divine command.

I like your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDear Theanne, so much beauty has been captured and expressed... PRAISE ever present...
DeleteI remember reading
ReplyDeleteE.H. Gombrich's _Art and Illusion_
and one thing that most impressed me
was how much
because the artist's medium
he or she must engage in trickery
to convey a realistic image to the viewer
-- sometimes I wonder if it is not the same
with poetry. :)
Yes, Matt, each art form has its special magic ... the way of the creative messenger...
