"Lost in the Paint" Inspired by The Art of Love and Lies:

Lost in the Paint

I get lost in the paint:

the mixing of colors to create the perfect shade,

the layering brush strokes for texture,

the up-close shapes that only make sense with distance,

the feelings evoked by bringing canvas to life,

the indescribable magic of seeing my creation hung.

Being an artist is

more than what I do;

being an artist is

the way my eyes interpret the ordinary and the beautiful,

a desire to put emotions in a visual format,

how I feel about the world around me,

becoming a reflection.

As people move on without a second glance,

I memorialize this moment

as it looks and feels

right now as

I get lost in the paint.
