Ekphrasis - What Is It?
Breughel painted his version of the myth of Daedalus and Icarus, which is known as Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. Much later, the poet William Carlos Williams interpreted Breughel's painting in his own words. Can you do something similar? Blog your own ekphrasis. Use lots of adjectives throughout, and be careful of the Order of Adjectives.
