How One Paints

In the art galleries of the world,
we find may priceless pieces.
Many are very old from the masters,
many are newer from modern day times.
They have painted in charcoal~oils and watercolors,
today with a knife~their finger~a can of spray paint.
From flowers to the sky in amazing colors,
to a portrait of you and me.
An artist is an artist in their own rite,
painting with their creativity from above.
