Crazy Maybe

A winter’s afternoon,
yet a May Tree
by my window
bursts into bloom!
Opera Rose
and Purple Lake –
I paint its flowers;
Vandyke Brown
for the trunk
and Sap Green –
the leaves!

Depict my cat
with Lamp-Black,
glossy coat...
not a mundane mix
of roustabout,
everyday-tabby
as, pert-eared,
she navigates
its branches...
not sprawled
at my feet, asleep;
legs akimbo...

On a twig
an oriole will sit;
a striking blend
of Ochre
and Renaissance Gold
and I shall sing
as he serenades me...

A far cry
from that Drab-Grey,
dove outside
with brooding eyes
who gazes at a lady
a crazy shade
of missing you like mad
Winter-Blue.

I was in my seventh heaven writing this one, Pia. I just love the names of artists' colours. Very inspiring on such a rainy afternoon as this. Glad you enjoyed too;-) Tina

Hi Tina, could this possibly be one of your paintings? I love the descriptive colours you use. Simply beautiful. Thanks for the lovely read. Jenny.

How did you quess?;-) It most certainly is, Jenny. I love painting my garden, summer or winter, and when it's a grey day, as today, I just use my imagination. As for my cat - she always sleeps with her four feet up in the air and would be very disgruntled if she knew I depicted her in such an unladylike pose;-) Thanks for reading, and for your kind words.
