I

have no

natural inclination

towards

Art,

I love to stare and immerse

myself in the artist’s

mind and feel the flow

of the brush

on canvas;

however

I cannot draw,

keep the palate

still and create,

no The War Bride,

no Death of Nelson

or Mark Wilkinson classic

forth-coming

from these stubby, inadequate

fingers. I try though,

I attempt to paint

in the manner of the great surrealist,

I practice all the time, yet

somehow I cannot

match

Salvador daily…
