With a pencil held in an anxious hand <br />Creativity blossoms and takes command <br />To draw what is felt…beyond what is seen <br />Filling with a touch …the spaces in between <br />The swelling desire to create stirs to motivate <br />With paths of light and contours that navigate <br />With fascination, the drawing gradually appears <br />Time evaporates as satisfying completion nears <br />Standing back with a squinting eye to scrutinize <br />Your endeavors have translated and improvised <br />It is not an imitation, but an interpretation of reality <br />The image seems to have internal warmth and breathe <br />As an artist, you do not pretend to be a snapshot mimic <br />Intentions are to satisfy self-expression without a gimmick<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-artist-s-drawing/
