Cross Section
Mixed Media Encaustic
by Kim Nelson
o’er many layers
o’ the blues
lie’s beating
the bleeding heart
sacrifice
He did choose
to reveal
what was there from the start
look deeper
beyond surface tones
to meanings
elucidating in fine print
young reaper
buried ‘neath mouldering bones
and gleanings
unearth His intent
it’s all the same
in His book
take a look
deeper
I gather this refers to the art form, as deep as etching it hides and reveals. This is similar in my mind to the parables, and I think you refer to them here–or make one of your own with the sheep and the shepherd and the need to look deeper!
Really enjoy the colors and feel of the picture -== nicely done
Your painting is spectacular. I love the beautiful blue, and the red heart is perfect. Love, especially, the instruction to “look deeper.”
I love the details you captured in your art and your poem~ So wonderful n’ playful to remind us to keep looking!
Especially when it comes to the matters of the hearts, so many times confusion blurs the lines! I love that this aligned and you shared your gorgeous art :D I sooo want to try this~
I love the way your poem reads and your art is stunning! It’s simple but so full of depth.
oh, this is wonderful! and your artwork is stunning! great take on the prompt.

its all the same in his book….smiles…i like that and the encouragement to take a deeper look….those who have eyes to see…
This is such an inspiration.
I used to do batik, which uses a tool called a tjanting, a spoon-type thingie that holds wax. I can’t see why I couldn’t use that on paper instead of cloth. Lovely to come across a new technique.
And the subtle shifts in your poem are beautiful. All this will help healing my poor sore face :-) vit.C for the brain.
Thank you.
really great poem, the art work very good
I think we all have to look MUCH deeper than what we see at the surface! Point well made; and again I liked your artwork.
Love this, Kim.
Kind of feels like a casual shift, like the process of such a painting.
Wonderful.
Kim,
Great depth to these wonderful words….even a warning within; not to judge on first appearances.
Excellent as usual Kim:)

I like the poem but that pic is my favorite from what I’ve seen so far.
Thanks, Bob. I’ve been working on that one for a long time. I add a layer, change a color, create a new panel; then I don’t know what comes next and wait for inspiration to strike again. I think it it done now. I have a patron interested in it, so just getting it out of the studio may mean the end of the project!
Kim, the world should know more of your artwork. You have a true gift, the artist’s eye, the asymmetrical glorious perspective. And THAT’S just the picture, hee hee…
As my friend Rev. Sara would say, “This could preach all day.” I am of the mind that Jesus’ teachings, were they truly embraced by folks who call themselves Christians but try to oppress the disenfranchised, could transform this nation. We are not a Christian nation, nor were we “founded under Judeo-Christian principles,” an oft-repeated fallacy. But I digress…
He hung on a cross, and there, his heart was open to all. He beckoned street urchins to his side when even the disciples shooed them away (they were “unclean”); his heart was open. There is not a single story of Jesus that paints him as anything less than love. Thank you for this beautiful parable. Peace, Amy
