I watch as lines are drawn
Criss-crossing on the concrete floor
Mesmerising at first
A jumble it appears of thoughts
Of ideas going nowhere.
This is the first of this kind
Previous murals being on walls
Where standing was the method of applying
The trademark colours of your work.
This time reminiscent of Michelangelo
Your body cries out on pain
As you crouch and paint those long hours
The exacting geometry of pattern.
Before my eyes the pool appears
The ripple of water, the depth,
The invitation to dive in
Luxuriate in tempting waters.
The image only to be visible from above
Where drones film it and we are left
Once again in awe of your extraordinary ability.

Lovely❤ I love the way you describe the pattern as a jumble of thoughts and ideas going nowhere. Such passion and precision in your verse😊Beautifully executed. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support.
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Thank you Sanaa, I hope you enjoy my son’s art work.
It’s amazing 🙂 you have a very talented son Michael.
I do indeed. Have a lovely day Sanaa.
How he did that, I don’t know. Such exacting detail! You have every right to be a proud Dad 🙂
It was an experiment as he hadn’t done a floor mural before. As I said in the poem he suffered for it, all the bent over played havoc with him. But it turned out brilliantly I think.
I hope he had a massage when he finished it. He would have needed it.
Beautiful work. I can’t imagine being able to plan that out and execute it. Your poem points out the doing of it, the work, the love, the talent poured into it. At least two talented members of your family exhibited here.
Thank you Debi, my journey with him is indeed exciting.
I love the idea itself, a floor mural. Like your poem suggests, it takes something known and makes it new and different. How can one not be enchanted by this view, by its implication, by the lines written within its colors and shapes.
Just wonderful, Michael. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
My pleasure Magaly the journey with my son is an exciting one, he has achieved so much I look forward to what lies ahead. Thanks for the lovely comment.
I love how you switch effortless from ceiling to floor – each requiring a step back to appreciate and really admire both the process and result..
Thank you so much Jae, appreciate you stopping by.
Brilliantly written piece, by you, the proud father, for an equally brilliant and talented son 😀
Thanks Pat, he is a clever boy….
I seriously thought that was a tiled pool when I first saw it! Your words describe perfectly the fascination it creates 😀 XXX
Thanks georgina glad you liked his work….have a good day…
Art has no boundaries and and your son’s brilliant artwork shows how important experimentation is in being creative. The shimmering impression of sun on water in this abstract work is outstanding. Dad’s verse is excellent too!
Thank you I do try, for him its a natural act. Exciting watching where he will go next. he is working on a quilt at the moment, sewing one I mean…
Very attractive injection of colour and artwork, and give an refreshing and inviting feeling. Brilliant!
Thank you so much I appreciate you stopping by.
