Singing along
He’s playing that melody
a simple folk song
on his six string guitar
about a boat on the sea
and the fisherman strong
attracting a crowd
from villages afar
and they’re joining in the chorus – aloud

Repetitive
#fowc #repetitive
I remember in school
being given a time tables square
we’d sit in class
and for five minutes
go over the tables
over and over again
We’d make things
from Balsa and clay
and off to mum and dad
we’d take them away
but unlike times tables
the creations were made – our way
I was in a store – the other day
and took an interest of plates and jars
all looking the same with patterns, dots and bars
no element of craft – all made by machine
I don’t think my Art teacher – would be so keen

Brush
#WWP #Brush
bringing a splash of colour to the white canvas
reds blues and greens mingle creating something
most pleasing to the donors eye
artist imagination (or perhaps water) – the only obstacle
to transferring the vision to the board
Making a mess ? he doesn’t think so
all art is subjective when you look at it
the splashes of colour ? satellite moons
encircling the red/blue planet
initial expressions ? positive
the colourful brushwork admired
maybe not to the pristine standard
of an old master
but good enough for the kindergarten wall
#Art #Stained Glass #Marble
The hot molten glass
found its way around each
leaden nook and cranny
not what you would call
your average coloured glass
tones mingled past lead
colours falling through
the cut panels of crystal
painting floor patterns
Movement by Sunshine
makes the bird in the wired glass
look as it takes off
#fowc #fallible
Even the finest craftsman can have an off day
as his customer looked somewhat bemused
at the shards of coloured glass
lying on the museum floor
scattered shards of red, blue and green
had fallen to the ground
to repair the glass scenery
would cost more than a pound
but examining the fixative
made assisting builders smile
he’d used peanut butter instead of putty or lead
so the birds would be round for a while
#threelinetales
Splashing something sunny
over somebody else’s scrawled tag
you know the work but do you know the artist ?

Maybe i’ll never be a Picasso….
and Lowry’s paintings are safe from my brush
reality is whilst i can do a bit of a sketch
keeping to the borders with my HB Pencil
its getting the colours on the canvas right – that’s why the
numbers on the pre-printed board are
great – for they tell me where the colours should go
On go the Orange’s, the greens and the browns
Until its time for the greys and the blacks
Taking my time – layering the paint – forms a picture of the puddytat.
#Art #Colours #Meditation
You could call it – heading for another plane
as the individual colours fall
positioning themselves in the various
pictures shapes that make up the image
If you look close enough they’ll form the animal
note the triangle , circles and feather like shapes that make the
gorilla – as you fill in the shapes – you can almost hear it
#thought #definition
Alternate definition : where writing implements sleep
crafted from the finest tree
a spot where writing implements
relax before pursuing their art
engaging colour shape and form on paper or canvas
fulfilling the artists ideas and concepts
until the task is done, only then will they
lie down and take a nap
