Red flower
Red bag
Red brush
Red blood,
Red paint
Shades and tones
Scarlet poppy
Crimson lake
Sunset cerise
Carmine rose
Ruby jewel
Cherry lipstick…
So vibrant
Blushes and berries
Heat is rising,
Bring me Green…
New paintings and regular art updates.

Don’t dip your paintbrush
In your hot, sweet tea!
The colour isn’t good
And it makes stains
On your teeth
Or canvas
You can’t paint over
Makes it taste of oil
Or leaves a green scum!
I’ve often paled
On drinking ‘green’
Or ‘red’ tea!
Coffees the same
Not good
For me
Or thee!

I was looking for this drawing because there was a prompt on one of the Art groups I’m on that asked people to post #thisisme. I looked and looked for this and could not find it, and yet its on my WordPress media gallery! It was originally drawn for a college project ‘I’. As you can see it includes a self portrait, a canvas and pencil and brush, some poppies, an x-ray, books, an old pottery, a cat and finally the willow pattern on a plate. Each thing means something to me. It was drawn in 2020 so I have changed slightly since then. No bits have dropped off but I’m not as well as I was. Life eh? Gets to us all….
