Paint Is Paint

Upon my brush I take bright pink paint,
                             
then rub it softly upon my canvas.
                                     
This starts my highlights,
                                                   
for my pretty sky.
                                                             
I want to match the canvas,
                                             
I take a bright pink blusher.
                                             
Then softly,
                                                                       
I blush my cheeks.
                                                           
Paint is paint,
                                                                   
whether on canvas or skin.

Paula, I like this one as it is so lovely. The softest hint of pink that appears during the shift from dusk to morning is the most attractive.

Very pretty, I love this one. The palest blush of pink transitioning in sunset or at dawn, most beautiful. xx
