Shapes
An obsession with shapes
They come at you from all angles
Curved, straight, obtuse,
Parallel circles drawn
Eye catching, compelling,
We stop, we take photos,
Amazing work.
In varying shades of blue.
The man who did this
Has played with shape
All his life, from a small boy
To now his work unique,
Controversial
Sold worldwide.
Around him the shapes evolve,
Like his life where he goes
A shape appears.
Life is how we make it
Whether in any colour
Or if we choose monotones
Ours is what we make it.
The ones we love stand and applaud
Happy for us to give it our best shot
Our shapes may not be symmetrical
But they are us, and us is all that matters.
For in the end,
Art
Like everything else,
Is always from a distance.
We stood back and admired his skill
Chatted with him,
Took a photo or two,
He thanked us
We moved on,
Our lives enriched, in better shape.

I love the art you’ve chosen absolutely stunning Michael. I can see how this inspired you, fabulous tribute.
Thanks Yves, my boys work that I worked on with him just recently.
Wow your son is immensely talented and so are you for that matter!
My son is doing very well Yves, I am very proud of his achievements.
You should be blown away by his talent =)
I certainly am, he is off to Perth at the end of the month to do two walls for the city of Perth In Western Australia
imagine if we were all the same shape, your boy would like this post, how lovely when talent runs through families. 🙂
Thank you Jenny, it’s what makes life so interesting isn’t it we are all different.
That we are my friend, that we are
Some more than others.
Wonderful tribute to your son’s talent. And of course the picture is breathtaking. Well done Michael.
Thanks Jackie if you strain your eyes you can see the little arrows inside the diamonds, I did those!
Well done! I’m sure your son is as proud of you as you are of him!
You must have looked close Jackie. He is proud of his dad, his dad didn’t stuff up too many times. And the beauty of paint is you can paint over and do it again, which did happen a few times but no one sees that so I’d like you to keep that a secret.
My lips are sealed 😉
I knew I could rely on you.
Niiice & LOVE the art work!
Circles are my favorite 😀
