not cliché
for a seven-year old
girl instructed to choose
a still-life to emulate
smelling oil paint & turpentine
feeling joy
covering canvas waiting
patiently for layers to dry
skimming pages searching
for blue eyes & red beard:
a now-familiar face
Very satisfying slow release of information. Just enough detail to let my brain work. I really like this one.
Your descriptions of both the paintings and Vincent are incredible.
