Ekphrasis is something that eludes me, Barry, or at least my skills are not
up to it. I have submitted poems based on one work of art two or three
times to an annual ekphrastic event in Eltham, Victoria but never get a
gong. Those gonged, it seemed to me, were intent on spelling out what they
see, which I found rather constricting. There were exceptions of course but
maybe the fault is in me.
