I squeeze the tube and think "toothpaste" I center white on palette pressed tight between my thumb and point I think again "yes--access" I add a dab of this and that around the centered purity. Primaries are secondary tools I'll use to blend the more subtle shades the way light plays and just a line of clarity-- true I like my life subdued yet have this need for "understood" I shrug and add the obvious-- tiny dots of bright in eyes to indicate the source of light although the shades are drawn I lied in my hues of canvassing I got lost in blends of pink painting my own blush I'm caught in the bristles of my brush naked in the paint. |

smile yes you are but the funny thing is we are all naked in ways...we cant even see and then.. when we notice that? we dont even realize the depth of ourselves we are ALL guilty of that is the nature of the ones whose ego is small but seen clearly and rubbed everyday self-absorbtion yes but selfish? immpossible we dont have the ego for it with something this small and shiny we dont dislay it to EVERYONE but it is our "precious" and for good reason it has gotten us through .....it is survival and its name is called diamond wonderful poem aiwe |

Serenity...As always your words really put my mind in overdrive trying to understand. " I have this need of understood " To understand the artist is to take away the mystery and I much rather think of you as a mystery waiting to be solved by those who dare try...Paul Hi to you my cajun friend ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Well sure it is a wonderful Karenity poem, but it took me back to ummm, 1963 it was. Yes, that was a very good year I do believe Willow, myself, and another friend let people cover us in paint and we rolled on the walls in the corridor of the dorm, as pledges in our sorority. I have to say that being a "twiggy-type" I felt my art was the best, but guess who won the contest? Right again! She did!  Karen we should be neighbours yanno? |

blushing here-- I was just thinking how I came here to Pip and I honestly thought I could write and not "show myself." You good people surprised me. Thanks for seeing me "nekkid" and loving me anyway. and I'm outta here before I get all emotional again...sniff. too late.  (and bri?  ) |

true I like my life subdued yet have this need for "understood" I shrug and add the obvious-- tiny dots of bright in eyes to indicate the source of light although the shades are drawn I lied in my hues of canvassing I got lost in blends of pink painting my own blush I'm caught in the bristles of my brush naked in the paint. and you are... my Mona Lisa.
