How To Paint Vulnerability by Theresa C. Newbill

Promo: "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
-Henry Ward Beecher

Impetuous strokes absorbed his thoughts,
while forceful intensely personal hues
invested a conglomerate of color harmonies.
Willful foliage of painful greens,
resembling daggers piercing the skyline,
severs possession from the prosperity of common
favor.
Illuminating violence remained a detached character
of single-minded boorishness annexing the dirt
obscured by the charcoal darkness of a storm
filled with quiet indifference.
Peculiar vividness relaxed the ample folds of a virgin
dressed in tattered rags tossed about in empty vastness.
Misery transmitted in vain delineation to obscure forms
accentuating nervous agitation culminating in abduction.
Infinite exuberance and sensual effects offer formative
mystical interpretation of spiritual truth maintained by
the vigilant surveillance of an unassisted individual
genius reflecting his own personal eccentricities
