Summoning
Jeanne Shannon
The Artist Longs to Emulate Wolf Kahn
to capture the way light coalesces around form
to paint canvases that glow like living jewels
fuchsia ink of forests
orange skies afire behind an aspen grove
mauve air of pine woods
to record the green song of photosynthesis
the vibrato of yellow skies (a yellow like Van Gogh’s)
to capture fog, haze, harsh winter light
to render old barns with agitated brushwork
to balance sensuous light with stark geometry
