"The Painter"

He swiftly takes his brush in hand. A magical instrument in the hands of a master. For what he sees, he uses imagination and reality. His thoughts flow freely from his soul to the canvas. Then creates, history- of times long forgotten. Before the camera, the video, or electronic manipulation. There was the painter. His moods and outlook of life he lived- transformed into a memory.

It is mentioned throughout the ages from Socrates to Royal officials how large and impressive are the works of those people, who could paint the moods, streets, and people- and places. True vision- To capture the world as it was then. Now, museums hold these treasures for the ages. The imagination needed to take oils and colors, and brush them ever so patiently for hours, or days, or months. A discipline well rewarded with the finished product- that may be enjoyed by the masses.

Paintings catch a moment in time when the sun is setting, and the shadows are falling, clouds in the sky, the grass on the hill. Are not these things that painters catch for all-time, �if well protected?� The imagery of the woman, the nudes of times gone by. Capturing all flaws, imperfections, and beauty of the human nude. Where one might be able to convey beauty in the spoken word, the painter captures words and events without ever composing a poem, short story, or epic.

For if we truly stand before a great painting, we can imagine what it might have been like. Too be the man standing there- with his brush and board of colorful paints. He stood at that spot in time �as we stand� before the work, we can only imagine how he moved his hands, held his body, and expressed his vision of what he saw.
