when I get stuck

When I can’t think of anything else to draw
I draw boxes
They lead to swirls, stars, flowers, elves, faeries and mushroom houses

When I can’t think of words to pen, I write down verbs and adverbs
Jumping, whirling, swirling, glassy, classy, brassy, hopping, skipping words

When my painting muse is stuck, I reach for my orange
She is my go-to color
Orange leads to turquoise
Turquoise leads to red
Red leads to yellow
Yellow leads to green

I have a pattern
It is a method that works for me
