Famous Or Not
Brushes saturated in paint
critique my art with your complaint
easy hours have gone by, with many a stroke
hard lines soft edges emotions to provoke
beginning on a blanket of white
knowing when to stop, to get it just right
colors of the palette subtle mixture moves
selling it to a buyer as he or she approves
stacks of trial and error some need repair
works in progress, images to share
mood setting eye of the beholder
some areas on the canvas are warmer and colder
learn the rules and lines that break
overshadowing parts of some kind of mistake
struggles and patients sections done
2000 hair bristle brush lighter than a ton
masters years techniques they learned
some of them ashamed as their work was burned
gallery's filled with talent and toil
needing indoor protection from light on oil
