Tess at Magpie Tales presents a creative challenge each week. I truly tried. I believe my creativeness is on spring break.
Feast in the House of Simon, 1610, El Greco
Sometimes art sings to me
And fills me full of words
Although the painting's lovely
My eye went to the robes
Instead of guests for dinner
I see material for curtains
Strips for a quilt
Yards for any project
But then I'm filled with guilt.
I do admire the painting
But I can't forget the quilt.

thanks for the chuckle. :)
good one! Made me look again!
I looked again to. and i don't see the quilt OR anything i could write... nada nary none nil
Words haven't been flowing for me lately either... but I admire your creativeness in attempting to overcome it! Great poem!
I always love the twist you put on things .lol
ha. at first i did not know what the top was...cool how you went where your eye was drawn...i love the textures...and light...it looks like a lightning bolt between them...
I LOVE that you look at the painting and see the potential for a quilt. Absolutely love it!
At the moment I am stumped and nothing, absolutely nothing comes to mind! But you reached in and pulled out the quilt.... a really pretty quilt!
Sharp and sly; well done.
That is a really beautiful painting. I would have had trouble trying to write anything that wouldn't take away from it's beauty. Your twist on it was good.
Can't blame you- that's where my eyes went also! But you pulled it off-perfectly!
It must be one of those pieces that makes us think of something else. When I saw it, I thought of vegetarianism (I know, strange). And the way you cropped made me think of a storm in someone's dress!
"curtains," storms, "quilt."
Hew damn Haw......I love it. You got a whole lotta something as far as I'm concerned. Quilt, I see quilt.
That's so funny :)

LOL!!! Only you, Gail...only you!...:)JP
For nothing, that's quite a lot!
I love the way your mind works, my visits here usually give me a good giggle.
Nicely, honestly done. I am sure that God is fine with that.
Well you brought a smile or two in the process!
You really don't have anything to feel quilty about.....or do you??
LoL......thanks for the giggle!
Haha. You did great, Gail!
And the quilt is more useful than the painting. ;-)
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
I love the way you see things, it makes perfectly good sense to me, and I do think it's a compliment to the artist that those gowns were painted with such color, light, and draping that the fabric seemed very rich and real. What a lovely quilt they would make! This made me smile, Gail thinking of ways to make something useful for her home. :-)
Just between you and me . . . I'd rather have the quilt.
For someone that said "got nothing", it turned out to be 'QUITE SOMETHING" - I hear you, when you say "Art sings to you"....every picture tells a story. Like :)
Nothing? I think you got something. You know, I think quilts are paintings. So I see it!
Your "nothing" is always worth "something" to me.
And this is no exception!
=)
The colorful robes are the best part of the painting! And that quilt would be nice indeed!
thanks for the laughs.
have a great week ahead~
I can only say you did well or well done!
I want one of those satiny robes...
Quilts are important. Good writing.
haha. enough of your mothergooseries
Ah yes, I enjoyed this I chuckle, without one bit of guilt, hehehehe, and I will find a use for any quilt!
He did a great job with the fabric, didn't he? I'd rather sew it than paint it, myself.
