Wet brush still in hand
strokes of love in progress
laid down
against taut canvas

the model has walked away

I paint
from memory

Sometimes what we remember looks better than it really did. The heart play tricks. I like this poem, because when I scketch from memory is usually better than still life.

you have a very distinct style Duncan, one I have grown quite fond of. This is truly lovely.

Blank canvas
why do you stare at me?

Sometimes when memories get stuck
in my mind,
I don't mind.

How do you manage to express so much feeling and emotion into so few words? Lovely piece as always
