daniel, i like how you imagine the process, including the arrival of inspiration, for the painter and her painting. and this may seem a weird jump, but what a contrast between her image and munch's " scream." a question arises for me—if she waited for then felt and went with the inspiration, who, actually, is in " command" ? -glen

Daniel, a deep introspection into the process of creating of a painting! Description is so intimate, inspiring, enigmatic like love and revelation! And complete - so it brings calm to her and transfers it to the viewers.

When a painter holds the brush in hand, he/she may not have a clear idea of what image is going to come out! As the brush moves forward, the idea gets clearer and the brush strokes fall on the canvas. It might be inspired by a memory or an impression long encased in mind! Here the poet is inspired by the life of a pair of lovers. As the painting progresses the two figures merge into one like their love and a masterpiece is born. A lovely poem on the birth of an artistic marvel.....

Painting as an art is but the work of an intricate mind. An insightful piece of poetry, well conceived and elegantly brought forth with conviction. A beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing, sir. Remain enriched.
