Canvas
Stark, colorless
Begging fulfillment, significance
Glaring pallid, pointless, empty
Taunting,
Searingly provocative,
Searching for meaning
Forlorn, abiding pointless existence
Brushes
Seized, dipped
Soul, seeking inspiration
Sightless, heartless endeavors failing
Color
Applied carelessly
Lacuna momentarily filled,
Exchanging emptiness with worthlessness
Unexpectedly,
Vision emerges,
Capturing my soul
Exquisite beauty stimulating imagination
Eyes
Open, exposing
Wondrously endowed canvas
Filled, complete, breathtaking, awe-inspiring
Creation
Beyond imagination
Displayed before me
Colors vibrantly, perfectly arranged
Striking
Beautifully designed
Shades perfectly harmonized
Artistry surpassing my abilities
You
Utter gratification,
Standing before me
My canvas now complete
Happy Birthday My Love

Lovely poem inspired of and inspiring - love, and an awesome painting; even if you just selected it for presentation and didn't paint it, your taste accrues credit anyway.

Happy Birthday to your lovely wifey!!!
RP - It's odd. I give her gifts of poetry frequently, yet be fore I met her, I'd never dream't of writing much of anything.
Fred - Even us men have our moments :-)
Tink - thank you
hugs - I'm far more lucky than she, but I love it
Wright - thank you
Jack - I only wish I could do such a thing. What an artist that person is. Hell, most people can't even see stick people in my stick people :-)
Thank you Mary, great to have you visit me.
