Seated Man With Folded Hands

Seated man
With folded hands
Posing before
Will pose here again
Holding his pose
As model must do
Yet what are his thoughts
Only a professional can know

Young Woman by Pushnin

Hands are set pondering
In the middle of the day
A time for resting
In the middle of the day
Reflecting things yet undone
In the middle of the day
What things are yet to come
In the middle of the day

Not The Normal Nude

Not the normal nude
The artist has sought
But one aged naturally
Not what others thought
Artists see past
Looking from within
Searching hearts to test
Feelings which give us rest

Woman by Window

Thoughts by the window
Painted orange and blue
No particular mood
Just resting thru and thru
Life has its moments
Not pretentious or anew
But simple and familiar
Giving balance for the few.

Aged

The beauty of childhood
No longer seen
But there in it’s place
The eyes of this scene
Dignity and honor
Wisdom pure and clean
Still in her eyes
Beauty is seen

Nude

Nude by the chair
Who normally cares?
Yet if she is bare
There is much to compare
Choices artists take
Painted in time
Beauty painted naturally
Easier said with done

Nurse’s White Hat

Nurse’s White Hat
Painted as a crown
The nurse’s crown is drawn
Not showy but subtle
Smooth are the lines
Graceful strokes set just right
Pretentious not but simple
Natural beauty in plain sight

Old Man

All men grow old
Battles marked with time
Battle marks are heard
Listening to the lines
No longer youthful
Perception not keen
But vitality still
Life abundantly lived

Hunting I Winter

Hunting In Winter
Prepared for it all
Guns, gloves and head dress
A man standing tall
Looking for the hunted
Experience says it all
When to start where to look
The hunted will fall

A welder’s pose

Captured at morning
Before the day begins
A worker rises early
To prepare for the day
Clothes are still fresh
And goggles are clean
One moment to reflect
Before business begins

Springtime

Pondering springtime
Along with the sun
The day moving forward
Plans must be sprung
The market the office
So much to be done
But here’s enjoying the morning
Before the busy day has begun

Ship

Shipping majestic
From ports all over the world
Men moving mountains of produce
Ocean waves to the shores
Ships rest as they are loaded
Making room for more store
A never ending cycle
Providing enough for us all

Boats

Boats at bay
Boats on the beach
Boats in our minds
Of freedom they speak
Many have painted
And many have tried
To catch that special moment
With a brush stroke nigh high

The Artist

Loginov the artist
Saint Petersburg artist
In the Russian tradition
Portraits are bold
Colors and strokes
Repin others have set the standard
For others to uphold.

Thoughts

Thoughts of the day
Reflect in my chair
To ponder tomorrow
From the thoughts of today
Decisions will come
And decisions will go
But to learn meditation
Tomorrow will grow

Books

School girls and school books
A subject well known
But colors and head dress
Create a mood all its own
She ponders her studies
And looks to the test
But captured for us
Is her mood at its best.

Women in white

Women in white
Depicted in an artists light
Not tainted or dull
But graceful and bred
Capturing natural beauty
Brush strokes smoothly led
Easy on the eyes
Is beauty to see
Blessed is the artist
Rendering for all to see
