The artist

​Oh to be an artist, with a canvas and a paint brush in hand
Waving it around like a conductor, orchestrating the band
Listen to the bass, the drums, holding the tempo and rhythm
These are the base colours, dark hues, giving roots in the prism

Next are the strong colours, brushed on, creating the story
The melody, the words, giving the soul, producing the glory
Finally the high notes, they punctuate every genre of music
The highlights, the sparkle, giving art that extra special kick

​It all comes together, if you’re lucky it hits ‘number one’
Art is a journey, radiating warmth, like rays from the sun
Your mind’s eye, your soul, on canvas displaying emotion
​Unique, every brush stroke makes it a personal creation
