Colors

You've only one canvas so, paint your picture big paint it bright use bold sweeping motions like storm clouds stalking a fathomless ocean. Don't step back to gain perspective and make corrections this will cause hesitancy your colors will bleed weak. Just let it fly paint in the color of honor and honesty paint it bright. Paint for yourself not for others painting for others is like inbreeding... the subject becomes deformed-impure-lifeless. Paint for yourself, watch miracles unfold. Paint lost moments with the deepest of grays, Paint the remaining seconds like golden motions of royalty. Paint happiness in manic purple and reds. Toward the end drag yourself to the edge of the sea now wrap yourself in your masterpiece proudly wear the colors of the final sunrise the colors of your life the colors of your unique existence.
