Art Apart

Colours splashed across the canvas

It is all part of the art

Pictures that really tells a story

And captures your heart

Abstract views of colours and objects

Landscapes that stretch for miles

Portraits of long gone souls

Captured with their smiles

Waterfalls on canvas

As men die on the battlefield

Naked women laze under trees

While cows graze in the field

The orphan child looking pathetically thin and ill

Stands on the corner of the street in the bitterly cold weather

As the rich Lord dines on a banquet fit for a King

In front of a roaring fire enjoying a warm family get together.

The wild horses racing across the lush green fields

As the pretty young maiden sitting in the sun sips at her lemonade

And a child shrieks with joy on the garden swing

While the cocker spaniel runs through the stream

Vivid colour upon colour jumps out of the canvas

The result of an abstract frame of mind

Emotions poured in and out of the work

By the artist whose name on the bottom is signed

Faces, flowers, the dead and the living

All in the name of art

Animals, buildings and history relived

Paintings that come from the heart.
