The Artist

I took a tiny touch of red
  Then I dabbed a bit of blue.
  Voila! I had purple
  Now I wondered what to do.

  The empty piece of canvas
  Was waiting for a scene.
  I shall start to build a forest
  With shades of deepest green.

  Ooops! I erred and made a splat.
  It's a mark I can't take back.
  I've changed my mind completely
  This paintings now abstract.
