Painting Canvas

A slash of rich blue
I add red in you too
And mix it with green
to create this scene
of grass and animals too.

Trees of a forest, flowers of a field,
Detail up close and then haze afar
right where the mountain ranges are.

As I stroke with a mighty brush
I see my dream appear on canvas---
oh wow, what a rush!

The colors come out, the shapes and details too:
From this mind, this hand, this eye of creation
comes forth light and art and talent new!

Finally I sign in the lower corner to call it done;
I've taken the journey where my dream came from.
This canvas wet with work; this scene unfold,
To now listen to visitors' comments told.

I imagined painting on canvas and came up with this simple poem.
