ocean breeze,your lips to me
not a kiss,
but the breath
you breathe
bringing out flavor
in all that
surrounds me
all that i
taste,
feel,
see
this is you
on me.
What can you say in 160 characters? (spaces included) Go see Monkey Man.
This is the first painting I have done in 15 years. The watercolors still work. Smiles. For my friends over at Sunday Sketches.

I so dearly love the sweet words you share on the subject of love.
You are multi-talented. Painting is so much fun.
Now I am wishing the ocean breeze is kissing me on the lips. I love the beach when it's cold.
A lovely 160. I particularly enjoy the line "bringing out flavor in all that surrounds me". That's as it should be, really.
I think your drawing is great! You should share it more often, I for one would love to see your creations.;) And I love your short but oh so romantic poem...
Have a lovely Sunday dear Brian,
xo
Wow!I love it!The words are amazing and I love your drawings!A real artist you are Brian!
What are you?
Writer?
Artist?
Painter?
Lover?
Father?
I say multi-roles you play. You are all at once and one :)
Joy always,
Susan
Nice!I too would love to see your drawings more often;)
Have a great day Brian!
Excellent poem, I am most impressed.
I read it three times, and still feel that.
I pray it be high tide breathing on you before the kelp comes to decay on the beach in the hot sun.
Hello Brian,
Your painting is really good.At first I thought it was a photo.
The shape of your poem is very interesting.
The words are lovely and I agree ocean breeze is a great healer.Just sitting by the sea shore and letting the strong, balmy wind blow into one's face had a wonderful soothing effect not only on the body but also on the soul.
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Joseph

Such a beautiful painting!I like the details of the nutrient value given on the pack :)
And such a wonderful 160 too! Salt so well expressed. No one can do it better than you friend!
I like the water colour. So detailed. And the verse is LOVE.
Love as it should be, ought to be.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i'm in awwwwwwwe, you are splendid
Hooray! painting and writing walk hand in hand, enhance each other. cool subject, well done !
Love it. :)
Lovely Brian. I really like seeing your artwork with your poetry!
Neat post, I loved the picture accompanied with such nice and beautifully said words. Along with the feeling that transmits the hole.
The watercolor is definitely working. Tangy 160.
I joined in this week. Eek!
and so i walk
one foot
in front
of
the other
searching for
myself.
but who's counting?
Brian, the painting is fantastic!
"bringing out the flavor"
I love this!
Oh that briny tang of sea salt on the lips, how divine.
Cheers

Ah, a Brian Miller love poem - with just the right amount of spice.
Very tasty and full of love.
Love the title a-salted. Briliant(brilliant?)
You always say, what can you say, and then you say it perfectly.
lordy, is there anything you can't do?
I too really like the feel of this piece, your watercolor talents flourish as do your words. love 'bringing out flavor in all that surrounds me'.
there is plenty pauline...smiles.
good to have that kind of people around who bring out flavor in our lives..and i love the watercolor
I love the painting - very nostalgic.
Just don't cut off your ear, please.
Hmm, is this post too salty? Nah...just right!
your words with the painting...perfect!
you are one of those skilled talents that could slap a piece of meat on a board and everyone would stop and say... 'awwww.... look at that art....!'
:)
you painted the words perfectly, once again! :)))
I crave salty over sweet, but this is both....Ha! You capture so much in so few words.
have a salty day!

Another charming post, love the poem and the illustration. Such a sense of humor in the title and romantic soul in the poem.
Well, well. Yet another side to the Mr. Miller...painting, ey? Love it and your written words are so beautiful and full of emotion. You, my friend, are like an ocean to all of us...refreshing, full of life and so real.
Thank you for participating once again in SS! Everybody is lovin' ya! :D
Fun piece, both words and art>
Well, I commented and it just disappeared. So - here goes - again...
Absolutely Brilliant, Brian! Wonderfully simple and so apt...
Great painting and poem!
I have been aSALTed! hehe
I love the feel of the ocean and the sound of the waves. I just love being there. and that is a terrific sketch!!
I love salt! I don't tell my Dr. that but it makes just about anything taste better. Great painting. My middle brother always used oils, but Alex loves acrylics and water colors. I'll stick to crayons! Have a great Sunday!
Not bad for such a long gap!! My water colours are 20 years old too! Pans never dry out though do they? Just signed up for a watercolour class. Might ask for some new artist grade ones for Christmas.
Nope, I didn't like this. Everyone can think of using salt as inspiration for a love poem. Oh, and everyone can paint a rich watercolor like that. Nope, didn't like it at all!
Just thought I'd see if I wouldn't spontaneously combust after I wrote lies, like these.
Truth is... not only do I love them, but am amazed at the scope of your art.
Awww...yes...we all need the salt in our lives...it definitely enhances the flavor. Nice 160, Brian!
I'm craving fries now! I love the drawing and how your words fall from it like salt from a shaker. Well seasoned!
Great painting and prose! Yes I could do with being at the beach just now! The "flavour that surrounds me" is very sensuous!
Great sketch and beautiful love poem. Thanks for your Sunday 160 contribution.
oh nice - i love the short sketches, they are so powerful - and did you paint that?
the salt in life, uh? nice sketch! it would look great on my kitchen wall... is it for sale? ;)
move over andy warhol
I find your words quite charming though I think the sketch doesn't quite go with them but then again, the ocean does have its salty water
Lovely 160. Love the title too
Great job on the painting and the words are really lovely, evocative.
Smiles
delightful salty words...
and i really like the art.
You are so talented!
Where do you find the time? You're a machine.
Very beautiful poem..intimate
Love both.
I think you just may be Shakespeare incarnate.....:-)Hugs
so romantic
Lovely drawing and poem.
I think you are a hopeless romantic! LOL!

So very nice Brian!!
Ocean's kiss
soft and sharp
lover's bliss
on nature's scarp
surround & fill me
I want more
seaside snuggles
from thee, I implore
...
Beautiful. Makes me want to go kiss my hubby.
WOW, this gushes romance. gorgeous, i just came from a weekend by the sea...nothing like it....I love this watercolor, too...you captured it!! xo
:D I love your work. I also love salt LOL
Hey Brian, at a total loss about how to go about it-sunday 160 and sunday sketch'.
have put up a new post with a sketch and sunday 160 but dunno whether did the link right
Good painting and an excellent poem as always.
What a lovely poem and great for you for painting after 15 years, great subject to paint!
Such a romantic you are, even when salt is your topic. And what a great sketch you made. You are mega-talented, Brian.
Looks like you haven't lost your touch!
Nothing like a cool ocean breeze on a hot summer day.
Hi! Brian...
Nice watercolour painting to compliment your very descriptive and very vivid 160 word post.
Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
Makes me wish I was in Hawaii already. Ocean breeze is waiting for me...
Close my eyes and I am there ~ sun kissed and salt in my hair. Your words always seem to make time go wavy for me.
And you finessed that sweetly salty watercolor B...:) Not easy, I know. Keep painting...you're a natural.
hummmm this is not salty, but so sweet!
Great poem and watercolour! Sort of a long poetic tweet! What an ode to salt!
your really have a wonderful way with words...great sketch too!
very sweet. and nice looking painting. my drawing consists of lopsided stick figures :)
Oooooo, nice piece. The cadence is perfect. I'm gonna go back and read it again. "not a kiss, but the breath you breathe"
Suddenly I'm craving fries from McDonald's.
You are so talented. Poetry and drawing.....I can do neither.
Bravo!
Woo-hoo - color! Excellent... love the poem-painting combo :)
Wow you paint and write! You are one talented man!!
Nice watercolor and poem!
You paint, too?! Some people have more talent in their little finger...Love the poem, and the watercolor also!
love the first few lines...ocean breezes and kisses....that sweet taste of salt on the lips ...what an image....blessings...(real blessing - not fake ones)bkm
Romantic. Beautifully written. And you paint too! You certainly are multi-talented. You've gotten my five senses on alert with this one.
While I can't do these challenges, I most certainly appreciate yours. Brilliant, as always!
Another wonderful post dear. Blessings and thank you.
I would also like to see more of your sketches.
Lovely sketch represented by lovelier words of love. Kudos Brian.
Oh, this one was a treasure indeed. Loved it and the water color was a wonderful accompaniment.
You do have a way with words my dear man, and the watercolor works too!
Wow... what a great painting..... !!! I'm back from vacay.. and had to make here one of my first stops....
Sexy...
warm smiles,
Yes!!!
Hugs

Another fantastic 160 and excellent watercolour too! LOve them both. Great words--mmm--like that idea of saltiness you leave me with here.
Nice Brian. You are an artist as well. The salty taste of a kiss is something else.
I love the way you love. It is truly inspiring.
Oh, wait, I forgot. You are one of those people with the Talent Gene. Great job on both, Brian.
