iPiccy and Cyberspace Impressionists: What Would Monet Say?


The pink and yellow purslane blooms on my balcony
beam brightly in the early morning sky.
Cuddled by fluffy clouds, they stir gently in the soft breeze.


Just minutes before, there wasn't a cloud in sight,
 nor could 'poppy view' be found in mid-flight!
What's going on?!


Thought I'd be 'Artist' for a day,
so, got my e-easel and started to play!

Enhancing the hilltops, 
illuminating the landscapes,


tweaking the textures, 
as if painting on canvas.


Starting with surfaces smooth


and ending with hard.
Pebbly, grainy,
like a mini hooked rug.


Other times, subtle, soft and slight.
Dabbing with brush strokes
to blur or highlight.


Petals of purslane, patiently posed, 
as the camera clicked 
to produce and compose
e-paintings of photos -
visual prose.


Thanks for visiting!
