My husband is the silent poet around here and I like it that way. :0)
What a lovely thought! :)
Fantastic quote to remember!
Perfect quote and picture. Is that you? I love those paintings, too.
Aren't you the clever girl! I am reading away, pondering the posts!
What a beautiful thought.
Very true! And lots of Pees in it too. :)
Very nice thought!
Blogging is like throwing up lots of different cans of paint!--Cheryl
Painting is poetry but priming is poop. Especially caulking and sanding and all the other preparing. But I regress. Painting IS poetry.
I like that!
=)
Except my painting would need to be finger painting. I could express myself and not worry about it having to look like anything!
If painting is poetry, what do the white walls I just painted say...? Kidding... Yes, that is an apt quote for our P round, Jenny.
That's fabulous & I love the paintings in that picture!
awesome quote!!! both yours and the comment about blogging!!
Hmmm, I haven't done any painting in years. Now you know why I'm not a poet.

I always enjoy these little tidbits of wisdom and inspiration you share on Alphbe-Thursdays. This one is such a peaceful picture in my mind. Pouring out your heart on a piece of canvas. Something my eldest can do very well.
Oh it is...and sometimes we do that painting for our walls, in silly and beautiful strokes, spreading color and tales all the way through.....!
I'm afraid anything I painted would hardly be called poetry. However, I'd love to have that talent! Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy other people's poetry.
I don't thinking any of my paintings are poetic, but I sure used to love doing them. Good therapy and Lord knows... I need therapy.
That's nice. Maybe if I read that to my hubby he will feel more inspired to finish the painting!~Ames
great quote Thanks for sharing it
What a wonderful metaphor!

Good quote. Unfortunately, painting here means work in the house--not the creative kind which I am better at looking at the work of others anyway.
With all the paintings I have painted, I must be a great poet but I didn't know, lol !
love, well done take.
Does it count if I'm just painting walls and furniture??
Alas, my poetic paintings are only on walls, logs and occasionally furniture. I can't even write a poem...sigh.
Thank you got s lovely quote.
