The artist steals his colors from the palette of nature:
Daisy yellow, cumulus white, sea foam blue, and new leaf green.
Congratulating himself for mixing a gritty mahogany
(tinged with the red of rain-washed clay)
he sneers and deludes himself into man’s great pretension;
That he alone creates the wonders of the world.
Oh, those little delusions and fantasies that get us through…
Sometimes it works and sometimes we have to be humbled. =)
Yes, so true.
