Rio Gedel Painting work in progress

Rio Gedel confluence 50 x 50 cm

work in progress acrylic and mixed media

on canvas.

The following is an exert from the poem poplars by the river by the Spanish poet

Jorge Guillan which I read last week,

translated I think by the wonderfully

named John Crow

Alomas con rio

Gently the river strings out
Its playfulness curve after curve
Whist in a slight tremor the poplars
Are sketched on the water

And as green as the river
Body after body of leaves they lull
The one who is lucky enough to hear
Poplars that are almost music

Lucky upon the bank
Is the man who follows the river
That sharpens the waters company
And the poplars flight

Jorge Guillen
