The artist's brush scoops up the shades of green, <br />and creates a scene. <br />Trees, banks, deep valleys, fields and gentle hills, <br />how the picture fills. <br />Some vivid yellows in the sunshine's rays, <br />on his canvas, blaze. <br />Rich blue envisaged in the summer sky, <br />is the perfect dye. <br />Such subtle shadows to be applied in black, <br />require the knack. <br />The whole portrayal is a captivating sight, <br />with highlights, white. <br />Then somewhere you'll find a signature in grey, <br />inscribed - Manet.<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-captivating-sight/
