Feel the rough textured<\/p>\n
Canvas.<\/p>\n
It feels empty.<\/p>\n
Just close your eyes and feel it.<\/p>\n
Without even glancing at the canvas,<\/p>\n
It feels white<\/p>\n
Like fresh, untouched snow<\/p>\n
or a pile or table salt.<\/p>\n
Feel the layers of<\/p>\n
Dried oils<\/p>\n
On the pallet.<\/p>\n
Its texture varies like mountains and valleys<\/p>\n
As you grace your fingers<\/p>\n
Against its grooves.<\/p>\n
It is not empty.<\/p>\n
It is quite full.<\/p>\n
You can feel its fullness,<\/p>\n
All its reds and blues<\/p>\n
And oranges and greens<\/p>\n
And violets,<\/p>\n
All roaming free like a saffari.<\/p>\n
Or a museum.<\/p>\n
The colors are immobile,<\/p>\n
Yet,<\/p>\n
Their wild aura still exists.<\/p>\n
You feel its wildness<\/p>\n
Just as you feel the canvas’s coma.<\/p>\n
Soon the two will meet.<\/p>\n
Soon, the vivid dream will meet the silent night,<\/p>\n
And from it,<\/p>\n
You will create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
