Painting a Pastoral Morn

cotton candy swirls dabbed onto an azure sky. . . sweet brushstrokes of dawn through green velvet fields a country lane meanders. . . dew paints the lilacs where the dirt lane ends leafy trees shade a cottage. . . fawns serenely pose For Gail Doyle's A Scenery Of Your Choice As An Artist Poetry Contest Used now for 'EARLY SEPTEMBER PREMIERE CONTEST any form,any theme,max of 25 lines' Poetry Contest of Brian Strand

Had to revisit this one to pick it apart more bc of its beauty..Your paintbrush swirled and dabbed gorgeous images...I can smell the cotton candy as well as the lilacs...maybe I will just scare the deer away and go right into this cottage. :) gwendolen

Your vision shines into my soul with pastel scenery. With magic sky's that paint the eyes on earthly greenery. A passive glance into a world beyond an average day. Reminding us that when we look, we now know why we pray.

Fantatic images in this work. Reminds me of the Burl Ives tune, "The Big Rock Candy Mountain". Peace & Love Matthew Anish
