Hello!
I always love poems about painting, and yours was no exception. You use vivid imagery and beautiful words to convey your meaning. Very descriptive words too. I love the final line the best, it really shows what the poem is all about.
There are a few things that I think could be improved. I think you maybe used a few too many "long words." I had to look up several to remind myself of what they meant, and I'm still not sure a few of them fit. The words that (in my opinion) are the most confusing are: "Unrequited inspirations of devotion," "invalidated," "mingle soulfully," and "unpaired." I'm not saying that these are bad words, but I don't think they are very visual words, and I don't think they add a lot to this poem. It think that the reader would have a hard time relating these words to anything. I value simplicity in a poem, and in essence, this is a pretty simple poem with fancy words tied onto it. I think it would be more powerful if you just changed them to be simpler.
Otherwise, this poem was absolutely fantastic!! I like how you brought up Picasso and your art terms.
I also agree with the previous review in that "the picture with their color..." is a little weird in a plural sense.
Great job! Keep writing!
