these colors and textures wild nature brambles thorns
trees some already gone leaning or the largest still standing tall
a stream a torrent with a lot of rain gentle now
on this middle May day such a coming together of different colors
scenes some might call ugly piles of brush and branches a rotting woodpile birthing mushrooms
but the artist sees differently sees everything as one big canvas and is mesmerized by each brushstroke each detail captured perfectly
in a trance of noticing each place out there and imagining the artist’s process
until a bee flies into the picture buzzes around a nearby empty chair then around a tree and then gone
struck then by the idea that the canvas is a movie instantly re created each moment in every direction with motion and action revealed as the frames fly by
and the artist laughs and is grateful for the artistry
of existence
