a body of work
creativity in action
line, structure, shadow.

Ideas Ideas Made Real

the play the theater
the drama staged
the brush the paint
the artistry unfolds
the line the shadow
the drawing to portray
the thought the reflection
the poetic word to convey
the vision the sculpture
the stone the clay reveal
CREATION CREATION
ideas ideas made real.

Strokes, lines, shading,
This artistry of soul
Beauty eternal
Delicate and bold
Breath and life
Pulsing shown
In the touching, capturing,
Portraying of beauty known.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

To stand before such beauty, to be in the presence of such artistry,
to know that in this moment lives the art of centuries past,
is to live the glory of creation eternal.

A gentle strength
In line conceived
Presence and beauty
Divinely perceived.

The Awakened Muse

The awakened Muse in God's spirit known
By the glory, beauty, splendor ever shown
The warm rising Sun for newness and light
The waxing Moon for faith's inner sight
Each bloom of Spring but a beckoning call
For the rebirth of life within each and All
Music and artistry 'tis nature's grace divine
Muse inspired note, form, structure and line
The music, the words, the poem's soulful plea
The drawing, the painting, the sculpture free
These gifts of purpose, goal, will and intent
The summon of the Muse with God's blessings sent
And when the Word sparks a thought of joy and rhyme
A wind's whisper, a bird's song, the day, the night be mine
Sky, land, mountain, stream, lake, river and sea
A palette of color, mood, bequeathed in guise to me
The vision, the dream now anew in God's Word
The Muse's entreat to follow, to follow, now heard
Line, form, sound, color, structure ever in creation
And so the awakened Muse in devoted revelation.
