A Mid Summer's Night Floral Dance
Artist
Rick Maxwell
Medium
Painting - Painting/acrylic On Canvas
Description
Arrived, this night! We await on full year...
We gather so close to sway and be near...
Gentled summer breeze, entwines our embrace...
While the center of eyes looks on, as in wait...
So we dance this night festive, all caring disavowed...
With forthright abandon, our seed may birth proud...
Too soon the dawn's waking, peaks over night's sky...
To close our floral dance 'til next mid-summer's 'nigh....
As we artists all know, it's hard to "Love" just one of our creations over any others. Having said that, 'IF,' I had to pick just one, this would be, "The One." The reason being?...I had no idea where I was going with this painting when I started it but, as most abstracts do, a pattern began to take shape to my eyes and mind. This is where it ended up. It's one of the many reasons why I "Love!" abstract. If you're willing and patient enough, it/they will reward you with wonder every time you look. --Peace, Max

Rick Maxwell replied:
Thank you, Steve. I'd just come from an art museum at The Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. I was so amazed by Pollock's work that day, I immediately sat down to create. I'm not putting this piece in the same realm as his, but this is my favorite abstract painting, so far, that I've done. Thank you! Peace, Max

I hope it is ok that I returned to comment before I didn't catch the poetry, but I am enthralled with your writing ability. It may surprise people to learn but artist who paint and do photography are often also wonderfully talented at writing also. And you have proven this point with your wonderful poetic skills. This poem works with this beautiful art work, both of which I myself would be proud to own. L/F :)
