the flickered movement of fingers detailing contours on canvas a portrait advancing into night's unhurried strokes-- moist cleavage gathers all tints untamed by this artist's brush.

I’ve seen those moments. At same weekend event, one artist with short graceful strokes, the other bold and brash, even as he looked at my cleavage…lol. Hope this made you laugh…true enough.
