Artwork Description

Pool Study with towel rumpled by the wind.
â–¡
Original verse by the artist bearing almost no relation to the painting.
Weekend in Glenlyon, Central Victoria.
â–¡
The road is empty
The breeze is chilled
The Magpie warbles, such pleasure
The silence filled
â–¡
The reservoir flood way
It's voice loud and shrill
Cascades out of a pipe
The river now a channel
â–¡
Cyprus hedges
The gorse advances
Two parrots screech with pure joy
Take their chances
â–¡
I'm in the Wombat Forest now
Above me a canopy of green
Pee on the grass, talk to a tree
No one to be seen
â–¡
Ambivalence
The weather can't make up its mind
Spit, sprinkle or be warm
Adventures, explore, to find.
â–¡
The weather is moody
How is it oriented
Will it be Balmy
It seems happy being disoriented.
â–¡
An open fire burns in the hearth
The brekky and lunch crowd enjoy quiet talk
A Ruben toasted beef with mustard
Eaten with knife and fork.
â–¡
The sky a grey smudge
A magenta grape vine
Wall a cerulean blue
Brekky tipple and wine.
â–¡
Balmy or moody
A smudge that is grey
Straight or disoriented
A perfect night and day.
â–¡
Cycling endorphins
Viagra afterglow
So much to process
Grey smudge, fire in the hearth, magenta, cerulean, now in a photo.

Artist Bio

Original verse by Edmund West and Liz.
â–¡
A sensuous scratch.
â–¡
Do you have a spirit, a soul, a voice.
Whisper in the wind, a quiet rejoice.
â–¡
Burnt siena, ochres, tonal grays
Olive eucalyptus the afternoon haze.
â–¡
Pee on a tree, a jaggedy dark patch
Blonde summer grass, a sensuous scratch.
â–¡

â–¡
The gate is open just a chink
â–¡
The gate is open just a chink
Should I go through, what do you think?
â–¡
I'm going out the door
In search of a why and wherefore
â–¡
Do you see the land of promise
Or has it been taken from us.
â–¡
Talk in real life
Either way there can be strife.
Talking in real life can be difficult. Lean on a gate,
It will be great.
â–¡
Splash in the sea,
Wait and see.
â–¡
The beach is deserted
Except for some kelp
We walk in the shallows
I give a joyous yelp
â–¡
A ray shoots under my foot
Gone in a blink
A split second shadow
No need to think
â–¡
All is shimmers.
The waves flat and languid
Breakers unfinished
Don't care if I'm stupid
