Spotlight Art – Whispers – Painting of the day by Sue Daniel

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Goff James

The image depicts a painting titled Whispers by the artist Sue Daniel. The work is an abstract expressionist painting that captures the interplay of delicate colours with just a few shapes and marks. the application of the many layers,some with thick raised surfaces, some scraped back revealing the glowing colours beneath. There are a lot of raw gestures and marks that create a great sense of emotions at play within the composition.

The work is an expressive abstract painting that uses a limited colour palette of muted red, ochre black and white hues which have been applied with spontaneous and immediate brush strokes that captures many layers of thoughts and emotions within the composition. The work supports the poem Music by the poet Mary Oliver. — © Iris Lavy, Fire with Fire, 2014

Music by Mary Oliver

I tied together
a few slender reeds, cut
notches to breathe across and made
such music you stood
shock still and then

followed as I wandered growing
moment by moment
slant-eyes and shaggy, my feet
slamming over the rocks, growing
hard as horn, and there

you were behind me, drowning
in the music, letting
the silver clasps out of your hair,
hurrying, taking off
your clothes.

I can’t remember
where this happened but I think
it was late summer when everything
is full of fire and rounding to fruition
and whatever doesn’t,
or resists,
must lie like a field of dark water under
the pulling moon,
tossing and tossing.

In the brutal elegance of cities
I have walked down
the halls of hotels

and heard this music behind
shut doors.

Do you think the heart
is accountable? Do you think the body
any more than a branch
of the honey locust tree,

hunting water,
hunching toward the sun,
shivering, when it feels
that good, into
white blossoms?

Or do you think there is a kind
of music, a certain strand
that lights up the otherwise
blunt wilderness of the body –
a furious
and unaccountable selectivity?

Ah well, anyway, whether or not
it was late summer, or even
in our part of the world, it is all
only a dream, I did not
turn into the lithe goat god. Nor did you come running
like that.

Did you?
