Fiadh
"Fiadh" - acrylic on cradled wood panel, 18" x 24" x 1.5" Ready to hang.. Available June 6 - 7 at Artistic Souls Gallery.
A wildling has taken over the studio. She has even usurped my little whimsical poems:
Fiadh is a wildling.
She runs, she swims, she climbs.
Her eyebrows raise at words like this -
she despises rhymes.
“Keep it wild,” she says,
“let it be unruly.
Words that run amok
resonate with more folks, truly.”
So here we go - I’ll try it!
Words racing off the spit!
They’re running toward an ending
which is this: TURNIP GREENS!
(what happens when wildlings take over: nothing rhymes)

Fiadh (fee-a) might have all of the studio creatures running amok before long. There's a half-finished vulture lurking on the easel who will surely conspire with her to cause havoc and mayhem. I never did mind a little mayhem - it's the lack of rhyming that gets my goat.
About the event: "Treat Yourself" June 6 - 7 at Artistic Souls Gallery on Facebook. A handful of artists pushing boundaries in their art during a two day melee event and online art auction.

I love the painting and her views on poetry. An unruly studio can be a great thing!
Carl! ha ha! Unleash the wildlings!
I am grabbing me a honkin' fat fistful of TURNIP GREENS and running like a wildling—wholeheartedly and unabashedly and with squeals and yelps—into this fine unfettered morning!
Dotty! YAHOOOOOOOO! unfettered mornings and fat fistfuls of GREENS! xoxoxox
Sounds like Fiadh is a bit of a rebel. I enjoyed the poetry!
Kevin! She is a rebel....and thank you!!! It makes me chuckle to write these little things. :)
