Broken Brushstrokes, Interruptions, and Magnificence
Interruptions
Brushstrokes broken
Subtle lapse in coloration
Spaces resting in between
Blemished beauties on canvas
Perfect curves
Drawn in the mind’s eye
Lost in translation
Perhaps the palate knows
Which colors have lingered
Or were missed
Some still resting patiently
Dancing occasionally
With the swirling bristles
Where emotions
Are often entangled
With that of the moment
Ideas of creation
Influenced by interruptions
Becoming collected
Connected
Seeking opportunity
Showing their colors
And yet keeping their secrets
Of lost memories
And the perfect portrayal
Of magnificence
Other Works, Ideas, and Moments of Creation
Swimming Through the Canals of Surrealism
I write about everything and sometimes nothing at all.I'm fascinated by old things, rusty things, abandoned places, or anywhere that a secret might be unearthed.I'm passionate about history and many of my pieces are anchored in one concept of time or another.I've always been a writer, dating back to my youth, but the last decade has been a time of growth for me.I'm continually pushing the limitations of vocabulary, syntax, and descriptive phrasing.

Beautiful R J ! I write and I paint but how often I run up against the wall of the palate or the paper both knowing exactly that which I stumble over !
Merry Christmas my friend !
I love this, Ralph. The mind of a painter in a moment of time. Magnificent!
I never could paint of even draw very well, but this piece Ralph put in the thoughts of a person that could. Thank you for that. Nicely done.
Excellent piece Ralph. I used to draw so i can appreciate and kind of understand the painters mindset here, but you wrote them out so flawlessly. Nice work
Well-written from the mind of an artist. I don’t paint put I do draw and I need to start incorporating my own illustrations with my writing. Thanks for the reminder.
Wonderful poetry. Your poetic words paint a lovely canvas.
