    Well, something must be done for May,
    The time is drawing nigh--
    To figure in the Catalogue,
    And woo the public eye.
    Something I must invent and paint;
    But oh my wit is not
    Like one of those kind substantives
    That answer Who and What?

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think read more

From the mingled strength of shade and light
A new creation rises to my sight,
Such heav'nly read more

From the mingled strength of shade and light
A new creation rises to my sight,
Such heav'nly figures from his pencil flow,
So warm with light his blended colors glow.
. . . .
The glowing portraits, fresh from life, that bring
Home to our hearts the truth from which they spring.

To draw men as they ought to be, not as they read more
