Studio

I'd worked on a canvas for hours Wishing I had van Gogh's powers to blend shades of floral bowers Painting flowers painting flowers I rearranged them in a vase on a table cloth fringed in lace and saw the mess in my loft space "Look at this place! Look at this place!" Splotches of blue, yellow and green covered the floor across the scene reds, pinks, and all hues in between I have to clean! I have to clean! I found a can of turpentine and soaked my brushes in a stein The scent stronger than oil of pine I must recline I must recline April 9, 2021 Monotetra Form

Heya Jenna, I’ve been in a few artists studios in my day, and this one is quite normal, I think it brings character to their surroundings, same way as your poem brings character to life, best of luck in the contest, cheers David

If I had that much space it would exactly the same! Thanks for your kind thoughts, David.

Jenna this is an excellent interpretation of the contest prompt, I am not artistic at all and admire those who have the talent:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks so much, Jan. The mess sometimes includes fingers and face, and so difficult to clean if painting with oils, and scent of turpentine can bring about a headache.
