Photo and Poem
Photo using defocused in camera painting motion
in the gallery of Jenny Brillhart's Exhibition
opening, at the Dowling Walsh Gallery in
Rockland, Maine, May 3, 2019
At Jenny's Exhibition Opening
by Bruce McMillan

Fine art on surrounding walls
figures filling the room, now,
a peopled gallery, observing art,
canvases absent of people, 
in a white walled gallery, 

paintings filled with folding chairs
overhead fans, easels at the ready,
a stool, a bed, a window,
art on the walls
in a white walled gallery, 

with the spirits of persons' presence
within the art, while enclosed figures
stand in this room, both touched
with contrapposto,
in a white walled gallery.
