I've completed a couple paintings and another couple poems.

Anatomy of a Painting

Blinding white-washed canvas fills my vision, an easel and pigment at my periphery.
An idea wavers and crashes against that garish unforgiving brightness.
In self-defense, I apply pale splotches of color to the surface,
immediately the tension reduces to manageable levels.
The splotches coalesce into a faint, furtive image.
I apply more color: reds, oranges and chill blue,
a stronger images suggests itself in those vibrant colors.
My brush scoops and swoops with the acrylic paint, it is a dance.
Back...forth... up... down... never ceasing movement has me in thrall.
my painting knife flashes, adding texture and depth to the evolving form
Finally, energy spent, the visage proudly preens, colors in bright swirls and whirls.

Strokes

The canvas is blank,
a white-washed wasteland looking for life.
To break this wall,
I paint the canvas a random pale color.

Images stir, vague shadows of possibilities.
I peruse an Images site (Pixabay.com)
My eyes settle on an image
