Painted On Canvas |
| We are like children |
| We’re painted on canvases |
| Picking up shades as we go |
| We start off with gesso |
| Brushed on by people we know |
| Watch your technique as you go |
| Step back and admire my view |
| Can you use the colors I choose? |
| Do I have some say what you use? |
| Can I get some greens and some blues? |
| We’re made by the pigment of paint that is put upon |
| Our stories are told by our hues |
| Like Motley or Bearden |
| These masters of peace and life |
| Layers of colors and time |
| Step back and admire my view |
| Can I use the colors I choose? |
| Don’t I have some say what you use? |
| Can’t get some greens with my blues? |
