I like how by the end of the 1st stanza you've created, by your word choices, the often shared ride,her studio, with this woman. In your 2nd & 3rd stanzas you focus solely on the instruments and movements of her artwork. LOL, as a woman and a reader, I can see that you've paid attention to these details quite often and show that you enjoy it! 4th stanza shows how she proofreads her text, cleans the paint from her brushes or perhaps swaps dead batteries in the camera for fresh ones... (in pursuit of her art).. .. and I adore your unseen wink winking louder yet in the woman's eyes under it all. It's kind of like how God plays His wonderful games with me, too. I just love this one through and through, Chris!

This definitely gives the feeling that you've seen this many times. The stanza that talks about her knowing every bump adds a subtle bit of tension, life from the outside. The poet artist at the end completes this nicely.

What a wonderful story.

The sumptuous poetry, I recognize and appreciate; the prosaic art of this scenario is beyond me :>)
