Gallery Reading Room

when she's gold
gleaming like a wheatfield
in the prairie sun
waving in the wind
you can hear her song

when she's red
pulsing like a heartbeat
in a passionate song
driven by the guitar
you can feel her heat

when she's blue
icy like a wintry wind
in December's night
blown from the north
you can touch her pain

when she's green
quiet like a forest
in the North woods
deep and silent
you can know her soul

when she's indigo
darklight like the sunrise
on a Summer's morn
over the lake
you can see her tears

when she's silver
glistening like a diamond
of the purest order
before your eyes
you can marvel at her beauty

she is the rainbow of life
a palette of colors like no other
her heart the canvas
my love the brush
the pictures we paint, living forever

And you pen it so well.  Superb piece from you.

Sven,

Beautiful illustration of the ups and downs of life.  You just never know where it will go from here.  Well done.

A big WOW on this stunning piece.
Don't think I've seen lovelier from your brush.
What a well-crafted masterpiece.

Somehow, the oils of the paint run liquid on the screen of Passions...and mesmerizes all...

how lovely this is, and how talented you are...keep your muse...she suits you well...

Well, if not "The Master" how about, "ONE of the Masters"?
