Yes, I Paint Cartoons

Yes, I paint cartoons.
I always start with the eyes.
Most of them have boobs.

Usually women
Men have to have bushy beards.
My chins are girly.

First canvas scary,
It cost a whole eight dollars.
A lot of money.

Bought it for my grands.
Granddaughter made me try it.
"You can paint," she said.

Instantly loved paint.
Relaxed me and fed my soul.
Best "me" obsession.

It met all my needs.
I gave up everything else.
Painting was my life.

Four hundred paintings
Two tent shows, eighty sales
Yet I had to stop.

They are mine, all mine.
My  house is bursting with them.
I love my cartoons.

It is totally true; I have rooms full of paintings to prove it.
