Projected all around me--
Vincent’s canvases. This Immersive Experience.
How he created still lifes, landscapes,
self-portraits by using brushstrokes--the first
breath of color, shape, paintover changes.
So much mesmerizes. Vase with Irises
with pink background, green table, white porcelain
vase overflows with blue irises, one brown
petal. As if a farmer’s wife left them untidied
when chores pulled her away.
From this cluster green stemmed--
God, man, nature in one image
of spiritual uplift--harmony, perfection
in this bouquet’s imperfection.
