What is Ekphrasis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekphrasis
I'm running a five week course on ekphrastic haiku at the Quest Gallery:
Quest Gallery | The Ekphrastic Haiku Sessions
The following haiku are by me, and the idea on completition of the Quest Gallery course is to produce ekphrastic haiku by the participants which will go into the exhibition catalogue providing a legacy for both participants, visitors, and the gallery.

Monet’s pain–
the shadows of haybales
lengthening the sunset

Monet's Pain:
http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=260
[Monet] remained loyal to the Impressionists' early goal of capturing the transitory effects of nature through direct observation. In 1890 he began creating paintings in series, depicting the same subject under various conditions and at different times of the day.
His late pictures, made when he was half-blind, are shimmering pools of color almost totally devoid of form.
