Kathy would you paint me a picture

It doesn’t have to be too big

Pastels, oil, black or white

Colors made from dolomite

Make it cold, make it hot

Drip splattered paint or maybe not

A heavy brush, muted grays

Receding planes that go on for days

Monotone or multi hues,

There are no don’ts, there are no dos

Kathy would you paint me a picture

Just make it five by five

That’s the cover size of my next cd

That I’m asking you to paint for me

Calligraphy, bucolic mood

Chiaroscuro, penciled nude

Ambiguously painted space

Textured tones, a human face

Draw delicately shifts and shafts

Crazy swirls, pink paint giraffes

It will come alive and true

Kathy find the palette deep in you

I’d have the finest cover all around

And I’ll be blue if it’s not Brown
