“Painting” by M J Eaton

Start with a wash
get rid of that white canvas
the starkness of it being so scary.
Begin the drawing.
Contour, then inner shapes
find the shadows and set them aside.
Move on purpose
the sun will soon
change what’s here.
Layer on layer of color
texture, and line.
Start again day after day
until, after stepping back
it looks finished.
