All Comments on 'Beautiful Painter'

Spike this is tremendous. Such a great description of this woman, by showing her actions, her responses, her attire. I want to meet this woman once. Sand-- this poem deserves a title that reflects its complexity.

is mentioned in the new poetry reviews.

I especially liked the last 3 lines:

not some suv driving Georgia O'Keeffe

but a bitter mother more beautiful than

her children.

here..i read it 3 times already. You really summed her up, very well, and sadly, so sad she seems. excellent poem, sandspike, thanks!!

Beautiful use of words to paint a moving painting of a painter.

Excellent piece; my only question is how this woman you describe in such detail can be considered more beautiful than her children. She sounds so shallow and filled with bitterness.

Artistic people are beautiful ~ in their own special way.
