~  Writer`s Notes ~

Khurram Amir has captured the soul of Andrew Wyeth with his youthful interpretation  of " Faraway". Simply an extraordinary  tribute to a great American artist. Wyeth's magical influence clearly captivated a talented young mind for the world to witness.

I feel honored and humbled by the opportunity to scribble Ekphrastic poetry to his brilliant Wyeth rendition of "Faraway".

Please take the time to read his inspiration, view his virtual gallery, and of course " Follow" his work.

~ Artist's Inspirational Comments ~

" I lived in a Very Small Indian Town and had very limited resources then.
There were no libraries, or internet in those days. Exposure to artists and paintings was very limited.

Occasionally, I viewed paintings featured in Reader's Digest from my Uncle's collection. There were articles featured about artist and thier paintings. As a young  boy I was fascinated by them and tore away one the pages from the magazines. The painting were so interesting that I decided to copy it in pencil, which I felt I was good at. It was a "Faraway" by Andrew Wyeth. It became my first Wyeth influenced sketch.

Eventually, I found other prints of Andrew's paintings and tried my hand at them also. At that time, I was not aware of the artist true fane, but his art captivated my young mind.

Little did I know that he would become my favorite artist. I was in awe of Andrew Wyeth's  work~ he has deeply moved and impacted me to this day.

I feel I know him, just by looking and appreciating his paintings. His work is an impression that can only be described as "Magical."  - Khurram Amir

`fragile legacy `

roses of times gone by — preserved into after life memories held dear — a poet April 1, 2025 Photography Credits © JNM 🇺🇸 ` fragile legacy ` 2025 Source : ™a Mind's Eye [THOUGHTS] For me, dead roses hold a special significance, preserved into after life i n a fragile, crumbling form, it tells a story of life's love, of loss, of memories that clings to the bittersweet beauty that sorrow bestows. The fragrance of a fresh rose  intoxicates our senses, but the scent of a dead rose is powerfully evocative with memories, transporting us to times gone by. The softness of a fresh rose is undeniable, yet the delicate, brittle texture of a dead rose serves as a touching reminder of memories held dear. Perhaps most profoundly, while a fresh rose is fleeting, its beauty lasting mere days, a dead rose endures forever, i t's beauty lost, yet still it speaks, t o depths within us, where heart and soul seek. [INSPIRATION] "A fresh Rose lives for days but a dead one...

` fractured `

Image
I am but a fractured spirit, a warrior amidst the ruins of a life once vivid and whole. Lately, my  ponderance reveals a world that I once knew has now drifted into a distant isolation. The year of anew has summoned a different awakened fatigue, a drain with an unseen weight that now erodes the bonds with all that once mattered. Within this shadowed isolation, I find my sanity quietly devouring, with fragments scattered by illusions of my own making. In those unguarded moments of insecurity, the apparition of my own end ascends with a cruel uncertainty, disturbing the way I yearn to be. I crave nothing more than to resurrect the man I once knew, a warrior of unyielding strength,  passion and resilience. Somewhere, in the endless tides of time, that self worth was been faulted, leaving behind a weakened soul and a tired old man. This m erciless aging thing, has been far from a graceful progression, it's just been a bitter reminder of a lost youth, the c ontradictory refra...

`Disjointed Thoughts`

A silent murmur — echos from within, reveals cries of reckoning — a poet 3 June 2025 Artist Credits © Darcy Saxton United States 🇺🇸 "Disjointed Thoughts" Painting, Acrylic on Canvas Year: 2016 Source : SAATCHI ART [THOUGHTS of PROSE] A storm does not ask for permission before it eclipses the sky. It rises, swells, and writhes , with an unrelenting pulse of chaos. So it is with the mind, when unspoken truths collides with ghost of yesteryear . A soul in insurrection is not easily quieted. It smothers the spirit, demanding a reckoning, breaking against the silent reach of a mind's lingering pull .  This tempest from within will always be waged in the suffocating dark, within the mind, as a reckoning of indecision, where light flickers but does not yet blaze. Ignorance, not for lack of knowledge, but for lack of clarity, for the unwillingness to turn inward and face what has long been stirring.  The echoing void, then, is not merely noise but motion, the...
