Natures old master

by Michael   Jul 11, 2018


An age-old golden artist glows
as it meanders upon a journey,
socialising with nature along the way.

rays carve through the air, displaying
an exquisite scenic route
along its path

..with a final showdown
drawing near.

a palette-
laden with succulent dusky colours
are scooped-up;
and spread across an olive canvas
where a floral sunset suffuses

pink, crepuscular roses, hints of violets
and lashings of tangy primrose

( with wisps of moody foliage )

exhibit a bouquet of waves
brushing the linings of clouds
with a scintillating garnish

as this spectacular showpiece, simmers
the old master fades gracefully
beyond the horizon
and the landscape is oiled with a silhouette
marinade ..

..and the moon comes to whisper..

“flattery will get you everywhere”

    Am I reading a poem or looking at Afremov's painting! This is exceptional. I very well remember the last time I saw a perfect painting in my mind through a poem - it was about four years ago - and I have treasured it all this while, but you have surpassed that imagery I once witnessed. This is very beautiful. Though I wonder, is this old master 'God'?

    I haven't picked up my pencils in quite a while. Yet this makes me want to. Perhaps I have misconstrued the meaning. Never the less it's what it made me feel like I wanted to do (inspiration comes in many forms).

    Regards
