(warning! the picture is a nude)In The Water

[billy]

Your body doesn’t move,
though it does seem that way
if I look at the glass plain of calm shallows
shimmering after they caress your calves
and ripple shoreward;
concentric semicircles of light and life.

In The Water

yes she does though painters of that era often painted adult women in such a way.
though mainly clothed i think he was trying to capture innocence.
thanks for the kind words Bianca. most of his art depicts women who are clothed
some works by Eugene von Blaas can be found here;

This piece is beautifully smooth, calming, I feel and deep. I like it, Billy.

I hope that this is where my comments on your poem are supposed to be?
I'm still learning my way around.
