Susan Hawthorne #274 musing on painting by Elaine d'Esterre


DP 274 painting by Elaine d'Esterre

I sit here each night looking at the painting
it is large mostly smoky blue abstract
but suggestive of so much more

three nights ago I saw an eyebrow
when that appeared an entire face
became visible    tonight in the centre

it could be a picnic table or a horse
bolting away from human company
the furrowed brow at the top is thinking

  2. Wonderful how this poem comes into view with the painting. Representation. Ways of seeing/knowing.

  3. Thank you. I have known this painting for many years, even stayed in the place where it lives, but this time I have looked at it and seen it differently. It's wonderful when that happens with an art work.
