The composition is too rigid Like a design on a coin Symmetrical like Statues inert at a gate Paint over! Start over! Edit the figure Is it an interior? The figure with computer In interior is Uninspiring Dosen’t make sense Or makes too much sense! (A few days away at work And then…) Let the screen device theme evolve Gateways to other worlds Screens like canvass All 4 cornered Arenas Let the device take over… Usurp the figure Imposing like an icon… Like the Artist who painted Large scale horses… What was her name? Rutherford? Half and half colours, Clashing paint, reverberating Harmoniously A pure Eye dissonance Sensation. A tutor showed me some Reproductions from a book It didn’t resinate at the time Though perhaps I now see What the tutor meant A painting has the right To be uncluttered Uncomplicated Perhaps it is the Depth The brush strokes That are Loaded, The image… Let the paint do the talking

In the moment… Standing back Waiting for a Response… Anything… I reflect… I’m at a bus stop On a wet dank Day in Bognor again! Though there could be Something in this Rainy bus stops Plain indecisive? What about those Other times? Dancing, buzzing In a tropical idyll Too many colours? If it’s not right Keep painting, Best to keep Moving… Like that Woody Allen Joke About the Shark, Annie Hall I think. Painting doe’s that It ignites Many memories Like kicking earth Unsettling the sediment Dusty powdery clouds Many coloured pigment Forming outlines, Contours, shapes, Creating Concrete words Concrete steps Keep Painting Keep Digging |
