A Poem & A Painting: Blue Bathing Beauty
Apr 19 2016 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0
Even though Spring has barely begun, I’m already dreaming of beach days. Maybe this is because I’m fortunate to have an ocean view out my window ~ or maybe just because I love Summer so much. Either way, this week’s painting is full of retro glam and ready to lounge under a striped umbrella sipping a fruity cocktail!
This week’s poem (excerpt) is from a 17th century English poet…
from Beauty Bathing
Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eyes,
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said Fie;
So vain desire was chidden
~Anthony Munday (1553-1633)
