wow! what a cool assignment! i was gonna do some Francis Bacon painting but then i figured i'd do one on that sight that he gave us cuz it may be better if i'm not already familiar with it. anywho. the painting i did is "4 dancers" by Degas. http://www.nga.gov/cgi-bin/pimage?46314+0+0+gg89
and honestly.. i think this speaks well for the painting and yet... also for myself.. and maybe also for some of the struggling artists here.

will they shower me with flowers
or whisper words detremental?
will my name become the symbol
of my unfulfilled potential?
will my talent rise above the nerves from which i suffer?
or will it shake me so deeply that i might never recover?
i enchant in my most vivid dreams
but blush when you speak to me
will they write of me with fondness
of my unmistakeable promise?
will their love be heard through the halls
or will they even love me at all?
will my body do what's needed once the curtains start to rise?
can anything protect me from an audience of eyes?
i enchant in my most vivid dreams
but blush when you speak to me.

WOW, geoffrey!
this so speaks to me. could be written about my humble person as well;)
"but blush when you speak to me"...yeah, right;)
absolutely adore the first verse, terrific. every word in every line of the first verse is perfectly mirroring what I feel and it sounds really good just reading it. and a bit black humour also in its last two lines, or at least it seems so to me;)
second verse is good and fits the song, but it can not compete with the first in my opinion. hell, I love that verse(as you might have guessed from my tiny hints :lol: )
let me know if you ever gonna record this.

Wow, I have to echo Bluenightangel here, this is extremely good :!: :!: :D :D I like the second verse best here, but thats just my perspective :D :D -the dog
Very nice.....I'm not well up on art, but I can see a painting in my minds eye....One tiny criticism, it feels slightly unfinished....like it needs another couple of lines....something along the lines of well I thought it could be better but the critics loved it....

I like this a lot. Really "paints" a nice picture.

Hi Geoffrey
Good interpretation of the picture. It seems, to me, to quite clearly lay out the worries that any performer would go through prior to a show.
Very well done.
