Work Becoming relevant, involuntary
Contextual, therapeutic, Application.
cadmium red; imperceptible compliment
to olive grey green, chromatic-
ally integrating seeming dissonance.
Nature the Wellspring of primary involvement.

I invite incisive, constructive criticism!

Nice, that’s the sort of art I have around my house.
Wow. I absolutely love your art. I know very little about the topic but this kind of style is my favourite.
In that case you like abstract art. Look up Jackson Pollock and be transported. 🙂
Awesome.
I believe that red does compliment the olive green really well. I liked how you left the word chromatic sort of dangling followed by “ally.” A nice play on words there. I see that you’re an accomplished painter as well as writer…that’s wonderful!
Thanks Gayle. I try. Thanks for noticing the -ally. I picked up the idea from what other poets on Dverse were doing. It worked well in this regard.
That painting is stunning! Wonderful colour descriptions in the poem.
Thanks Bryan!
Loved the painting and will be back to witness more of your creativity 🙂
Thank you!
The smell of oil paint reminds me of my grandfather, who was a fine landscape artist; hanging out in his studio was always bliss.
If I had to choose between Chanel no 5 and the smell of turpentine, well … 🙂
Love your artwork (in both mediums(.
Anna :o]
Thank you!
Beautiful painting; and your sevenling expresses it SO well.
Thanks Mary. In my next sevenling I’ll count on my fingers until three and then stop and move on. 🙂
I love the painting too, and can relate to the poem as one who plays around with colours sometimes.
Off to your blog to see. Thanks for the visit and comment.
I tried visiting your blog but it says it is no longer available because it has been deleted?
Beautifully expressed 🙂
Thank you Sanaa.
I admire the artistic perspective – from color to the muse – nature the wellspring of my primary involvement ~ If you love doing it, it is not work anymore ~
It’s still work in the sense that one can’t help oneself but to be creative. 🙂
Oh I love that painting… love the use of colors in this… a great topic for the form. The reference of primary (to colors) in the last line is great.
I see De, our hostess also used primary. Maybe I should go back to reading people’s poetry first before writing, to make sure to come up with something different.
Like minds… coming up with a similar view is just great.
Happens often enough. 🙂
I love this take, petru.It is so thick and rich with color, I can smell the paint.
Thank you for hosting and the opportunity for doing a new form. Not sure I didn’t overdo the list in the first stanza though, but enjoyed the effort!
I know what you mean. I “feel” the lists in mine a lot more, after reading those that others wrote (Bjorn, for example), who employed more subtlety. I enjoy them both ways, though. And the original poem the form was based on certainly has a clear “list.” 🙂 That’s the beauty of poetry, and this form…lots of versatility and room for an artist to play.
thanks!
