Have You Seen…

.

Have you seen

my “Helen Keller” paintings?

They are called that because

back in the day you could 

tell without seeing,

by touch,

what the painting is.

.

These days,

my paintings are more 

subtle,

but still

rough and bumpy,

palette knives and fingers,

forming visions of 

waves, froth, mountains,

rocks and sand.

.

Sometimes a surface

gives paint

a mind of its own,

rough or bumpy,

scratchy or

slick as satin.

.

Come see my paintings

where brush strokes 

and knife marks rule.

On rough canvas, 

wood

or slick, slippery plastic.

.

Enjoy the feel of a

painting,

sometimes it’s a mood,

touching the heart

or soul;

sometimes a touch,

the artist made strokes

creating images

and feelings

only you know where 

they come from.

Feelings.
