Sunflowers 2 - Poetry in Action...

 I thought it would be fun(?) to describe what artistic endeavours have been taking place this week in the form of a rubbishy an outstanding piece of poetry. <tee-hee!>




Step 1-  Preparing design on paper




Step 2 - Painting background 

  

~Kate's Ode to Sunflowers~


Step 3 - Blocking in initial flower petals

 Early today I sat & thought - 

'What to do
With the canvas I bought?' 



'Should I paint
A car, a train?

Should I paint me
Soaked from rain?'

'Should it be fun,

Or illustrate power?'

I wondered again later,

While in the shower.

And then like a jolt,
It occurred to me,

To paint more sunflowers
To let me see,
Whether my skills

Were getting a smidge better, 

Or whether my painting ability
Was starting to fester. 



 I'm wondering with interest
As I go about creating

'Will it be fabulous or dreadful, 
This sunflower painting?'

The End*


Classy, right?! Should I give up my day job?  No?

[*I decree that all really bad poems wonderful poetic masterpieces must end with 'The End'.]

Stay tuned for progress shots over upcoming days!
