Analysis of Olivia
David Cronk 1977
Her tools an appendage of blistering pace
A product of wisdom and will
Each stroke and each swipe, all actions precise,
Each space on the canvas she fills
Eyes fixed and focused, unflinching intent
The love of her craft as her muse
The artist expresses, and shares with the world
A masterpiece brimming with hues
