dipped in oils the artist's brush
strokes on the canvas
the colors so lush
impressionism, cubism, matisse, monet
renoir, van gogh, are like fine aged rose
they sing to my heart
distant scenes from distant places
the sullen look on the model's faces
the studios with the smell of paint
the clay, the bronze, the patron saint
sketches of ballerinas striking a pose
beams of light shining on a faded rose
a scene along the french river seine
a basket full of fruit
a man in a suit
a woman in a victorian dress
a lovely, sweet baroness
parisol, gloves, bonnet, and shawl
wrapped in silk and giving her all
strolling the lane
van gogh was insane
cut off his ear
for his sweet dear
to show his love
for his sweet dove
boats on the water
monet's expertise
like the liquorice taste
of the greek herb anise
meadows with flowers
whiling way the mediterranean hours
matisse with his nudes
my favorite kind
a woman's body
like the doe and the hind
they fill my mind
they lead me to that place
where there's daffodils
leather and lace
