I'm working on a new painting and I've written a verse that will describe the finished piece. Most of the time I have an idea for a painting, then do the painting, name the piece and on occasion write a verse to describe it. This is a little bit turned around as I have had the idea, but I just came up with the verse while lying awake a few nights ago.
Most ideas come to me while on long drives or just lying awake at night. It really is depressing sometimes because there are so many ideas for paintings and there just doesn't seem to be the time. I have 19 paintings that I want to do right now on just this same window theme.
There is a beautiful young lady from the Toledo area that is going to model for this painting and I really appreciate her help.
Here is the simple short verse;
When you look into my window
what do you see?
Is it the red of anger and contempt,
or the black of pain and sorrow,
or is it the white in the purity of my soul?
When you look into my window
what do you see?
