Preparing For a Painting

The canvas is waiting
Have you planned the drawing
Yes,model's features are yearning
to be captured in oils.
Will she be seated,will he be standing
pigeon-footed?
I shall choose one model only for this
portrait.
She will be seated in a conventional
pose with her hands showing.
A triangle.
There will be a landscape behind her
with the horizon in view.
Her gaze will be looking at you,her 
eyes will be true.
