Art Is Play

Seize the day, Art is play. Don’t even think, Just add some pink Swirl it around Take out boring brown Add the prettiest blue you do A splash of orange in her brightest hue Teach yourself to use a palette knife Have the greatest time of your life. Be fearlessly brazen, brave and bold Grab up the paints before they are hard, add some gold. Let your glorious paint colors drip and drape Let them decide what you create. Put some red on your well-loved brush Flip it hard, and make it gush Practice every which and way The main part to remember is, painting is play.

I LOVE THIS!!! ;) I think this is why I do better artwork with kids than by myself... Left to my own devices, I turn into a curmudgeon and forget how to play! Great poem, friend!

You must paint, as well as, write. A new "fav" of mine.

Lots of us little poets paint. It is amazing how many of us there are. I used to paint 4 canvases each week - for about 4 years, now I only paint one or two.
