Heredity, permeation or motivation might be considered a necessity to native in oneself a vocation:
a father - painter,
somewhat bohemian;
the ever oresent smell of oil and
turpentine which one day
awakens your senses;
that huge paint stained palette,
those ever available yet
forbidden brushes
those bare and used canvasses
awaiting your ardent desire;
that easel lowered or raised by
hand, that oh so fleeting glimpse
of a model; the endless
discussions, the smell of tobacco,
the late hour,
your childish drawing exposed on
your father's studio wall
and those magic words
Ivory Black
Silver White
Lemmon Yellow
Venitian Red
The desire is born, it only awaits
fulfilment; a desire renewed with
each canvas. Each work always
questioned, that exhilarating
moment preceding the
first brush stroke... The virgin
canvas... anything may yet happen.
With the first stroke of your brush
something is begun something now
accomplished.
