The Artistic Touch
One from my archive. (2009)
Our local artist
has gained a reputation
for portraits and landscapes,
but nudes
are his staple diet.
This has upset
the village prudes
so he keeps doing them
on the quiet.
Prominent in his studio
is a well worn settee
on which models recline.
As not one of them
sees fit to decline
his amorous advances,
he’s quite happy to paint
(and take his chances).
I happened to drop by
one sunny day
and there, on the couch,
a naked girl lay.
On her nose a touch of paint
– emerald green –
and a smudge of vermilion
on her buttocks,
where his hands had been.

You are very naughty Luigi, but it brings some humour to the site which we desperately need. I might take up painting now….
gerry.
Something funny going on Luigi, hope you get the above comment okay….?
I hear you loud and clear, Gerry. Twice in fact.
Thanks.
Ha, Ha Luigi very humous offering mate. Glad I read it.
It looks as if we have a similar sense of humour, Tony.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
As an art lover I had to follow the progress of the artist, Trevor, and could not avert my gaze if a nude model happened to be around. Scout’s honour!
Another wonderful offering Luigi, so pleased I stopped by.

And I am glad that you did, Mike. I do appreciate your encouraging words. Many thanks, Luigi.
