My Paintings
ReplyDeleteWhatever painting you paint
However small or ill-shaped
You believe it to be
You have still painted
Maybe half there
In a daydream
Edged with grief
The strokes haphazard
The colors not well thought out
Or painted with careful
Deliberate strokes
A study in precision
You got the tubes out of the goddam box
I say give yourself an 'A'
Not for effort
For courage
Then give yourself a gold star
