it seems my dreams have not tortured me sufficiently to pour Life's blues in the darkest hues onto the canvas but it's ok, for my colors remain true and in Vincent's shadow I stand, brush in hand eye on the sky wondering why though crows yet fly inevitably over the grains, my blues are never the same hues, my yellows seem muddy alongside the vibrancies of you and if you, the casual observer may laugh at this, thinking him always so dark and moody? you shall never understand unless and until you hold a brush in hand and try to communicate both heart and sky but when you do you'll see what is uniquely human within him and within ~me~ |

"my blues are never the same hues, my yellows seem muddy alongside the vibrancies of you" I love this poem Kacy. It seems frustrated. |

LOL, when Life's paints don't give me what I want, it IS frustrating. Thanks for reading. |

I understand. I love these poems of Vincent. I've been trying to self-teach art over the past years (I go in spurts and with different medium...haven't tried oils yet...afraid). Right now, I've started from scratch again, working with charcoals, pencils, watercolors and pastels. This time around working with faces. I only wish I could put what's in my heart and soul out there in front of me...I do understand, Kacy.  ...jo |

I have not done so but I do believe what you say...you can't know until you try it yourself...  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I understand, Kacy. If I could paint with words what Vincent did with a brush, I'd be happy. I guess we just have to be content with whoever we are. |

I like this very much... and am touched by it... even though I'm limited to admiring the efforts of others... my artistic talent is so lacking I'd be overjoyed if my hands could create something even I could recognize. *G* |
