Part 1 - NATURE Paintings with Verses

 By Dr Abe V Rotor 
DOVES IN THE BLUE SKY

Painting in acrylic ( 29.5” x 24.5”)

Fly high and spread peace

 before the coming of storm,

 truce in the battlefield,

brotherhood its norm. 

WHERE HAS THE PAINTER GONE?

Painting in acrylic by a child participant in an art

workshop conducted by the author in his residence

in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur, 2016.  The abandoned

palette board was later discovered under a mango

tree where on-the-spot sessions were held.

 

 Work of art abandoned,

a brush with the paint dry

on a palette board;

“Where has the painter gone?

Had he taken the canvas,

in lieu of a masterpiece?”

 FIREWORKS GARDEN

Painting in acrylic (15.5” X 32”)

Celebration in foliage and blossom

In some corner of Eden, Behold!

 Green thumb has made to bloom;

Move over flash and thunder bold.

STILL LIFE

Painting in acrylic (24.5 x 32”)

Fruits from different lands and seasons,

gifts to man Ceres and Epicurus gave

for his health and many other reasons;

from which too, the best wines are made.

A HEART ON THE WALL

Painting in acrylic (16.5" x 18")

Oh, heart on the wall

     do you still feel?

Do you still throb -

     the throb of love?

Ivy, ivy on the wall,

     don't hide 

     a living heart.

RED SUN IN THE FOREST

Painting in acrylic (11” x 14”)

  

Green umbrella against global warming,

man’s primitive dwelling;

he has all reasons to revive this craving

as it was in the beginning.

                                  
WATERSHED

Painting in acrylic (19.5” x 30”)

 I paint the stream laugh and cry,

     and hiss over the rock;

 the clouds on the mountain high, 

     down the sea and back.

Sun and rain the life of the stream,

     the hills and watershed,

music of the wind and sunbeam

     shining over our head. ~    

BOUQUET

Painting in acrylic (17.5” x 18.5”)

Bouquet - how fresh,
picked for vase or lei;
how withered and shy
at the end of day.

Bouquet - how missed
the bee, the butterfly
in the garden, the rainbow
in the sky.. ~
