An Artist- I can feel it today!!!!!

"The artist is a receptacle
for emotions
that come from all over the place:
from the sky,
from the earth,
from a scrap of paper,
from a passing shape,
from a spider's web.”
-- Picasso


peony.
waiting
to be painted.
clear off the "creating" table.
wipe away the dust,
the "things to do"
Wood glue
broken ness
waiting to be made whole again.
White crisp paper
the tooth waiting to grab the colors.
brushes
palette
Empty water basin
a layer of time
waiting to be washed off.
It has to be felt
taken apart,
petal by petal,
leaves dissected
then put back together.
In color.
value
and hues.
Strokes of the brush
capturing the movements
life
pulsing through the veins
re created
where time cannot reach
wilt
discolor.
