If Vincent were here today
he would be watching
~Anime~

and loving every moment

intensity

soul

art

all wrapped up into
~Kenshin~
or any other form of modern art


and oh, how he would paint the sky
in colors you and I
could
FEEL
I am talking

FEEL....

the real of
BLUE
or the heat
of RED or ORANGE...

and the GREY of a dawn that makes you feel
a chill
oh...

If only Vincent could feel

the real of today

~HE~ would paint the skies and the sun
the moon and the sunflowers
in vibrant living colors

and

you would never

ever

forget.

Yes, he would do that, and then
cut off his other ear...

in passion...

totally taken by what he felt internally, knowing he needed to bring it externally.

You are so in TUNE!

Gads, we need to sit down at the kitchen table.

"If Vincent were here today

~Anime~"

This is a great poetic statement in its entirety, but the opening struck me.  I have often wondered where some artists would be drawn if they were alive today.  For examples, Vincent and Anime; another would be Blake and a color Xerox machine; or, Michealangelo and a battery of programable color strobes.

Now am singing that song in my head about Vincent - he was an amazing and sad man - have you ever read the fictionalized biography of him?  Can't think of the title off hand - but it was based on fact - truly enjoyable - fascinating

Susan, perhaps you mean "Lust for Life" by Irving Stone, a book I have read more than once.
thanks for commenting!

if he were here today we would all  surly see and feel art as it should be

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
