this world paints my soul

in hues no one understands

don't airbrush me whole

Hi Pete...I appreciate this; I am an artist; i may see something different...I look at this as an abstract of someone's soul...and I understand all about hues...(design 101) ..I like the hues, and I also like the outlines which delineates a message of a certain chaos in one's mind and in the universe itself.... even though it might be just a painting of nothing...abstractions still have deep meaning...

so true. impressionist works fascinate me, i can look at them and keep discovering things and feelings. we are indeed complex, multi-faceted beings who need to be viewed from different angles. we must strive to find the good in each other, it's too easy and unfair to focus on the bad and write each other off.

I like your interpretation better than mine, and I agree! Art is very personal and there is no right interpretation....Always a pleasure!

Pete,
Yes we human beings can be a mystery even to ourselves. In seeing the painting posted with your words that is what came to mind. what others see is possibly viewed through what is real to them. There is a saying which goes; " People won't care what you know until they know that you care. Love gives the colors in our life painting.
Thanks for your great post.
Blessings,
Kathy
