You don’t have to possess
the biggest palette.
You just have to know
how to handle the brush,
how best to master the strokes.

To deftly spread the colors
over a blank awaiting canvas,
whether stretched taut and firm,
or with a few wrinkles and sags,
the true artist will find
the right spot most every time,
the place that reveals
that glorious and sublime spot,
where the mixture finds
it’s ideal resting place,
for loving adornment.

I see you holding the brush to the canvas like a devining rod, being drawn right down to it with this one.  True; and enjoyed.   ....jo

Hiya Kacy...Reminded me of one I wrote way back.  
Great minds, huh???  


Wet brush still in hand
strokes of love in progress
laid down
against taut canvas

the model has walked away

I paint
from memory

Thanks Sy
Iliana, what a wonderful generous reply!
Duncan, what a sensually painted image.
inked, signed or singed? either is OK

a deserving ode to technique. just like it isn't the size of your vocabulary bank but is your ability to create with the words you know.

What's not to love about this cleverly sensuous and artistic write!

You are an artist on all kinds of paper!

Superb *painting*

your *strokes* certainly know where to brush

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Nice coin you've struck!
I think that I prefer the obverse side.

Still hard to leave your titles alone!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
