Aceo Watercolor mountain Painting

--------------------Wilderness By Derek Collins
Perchance I walk on distant lands,
Where ne'er did foot to find it's path,
But oh,
What glory it would be,
Embraced in natures simplicity.

Swirling,Billowy,Clouds - acrylic cloud painting with poetry

"Swirling Billowy, Clouds"

Upon a high, and lonely hill.

A dark and listless wind doeth blow.

The grass does dance,

the tree do sway,

as the light does rise,

from a hidden place.

And the whirling,swirling, wind dies down,

and the night does come,

and the stillness reigns,

and someone, hopes, for a brighter day.

For any one who follows me . This is a previous painting to my blog. The link following is for a site where they have a topic, and different artist express that idea in art, words, photography, etc. I decided to do both art and poetry.

The topic was SWIRLING

I hope you enjoy it.

Closeup of a large acrylic seascape on canvas

Painting the last painting, got me in the mood to paint with a palette knife. The sky was painted with a brush, but the ocean was painted with a knife.

And now, I will wax poetic!

"Crashing Waves"
From a distant shore, in an unknown place.
An unseen wave, over rock did break.
And the reef did sway, in the current below.
The seaweed churned, in the tumultuous flow.
The water raised as a giant hand.
To thrust itself on the rock and sand.
With it's quest fulfilled, it returned once more.
To the deep dark depths of the ocean floor.
