Edilma+: On White and On Black

Seeing is believing, so they say;
But no two people see the same.

A rose is a rose, and all that;
But does the rose smell as sweet when its color changes?

Does a single line convey the depth of space?
Does a single color reflect the variety of nature?
Does a white page need to be filled?
Does a black page echo the mind?
Does a still life soothe the soul?
Does a grim face intrigue the onlooker?

Lines help encompass form;
Color heightens hidden desires.
Whether on white or on black,
The essence of a painting rests in its composition.
