Oils

Blank canvas

handful of brushes

oil smears

creativity sparks

inspired ambition

abstract, 

still life, 

floral, 

scenic

keeping me awake

late at night

I have no idea what time it is

music fills the air

I keep painting

different colors

blending 

linseed oil on my hands

turpentine fumes in the air

fueled by adrenaline, 

blueberries and green tea

piles of rags

canvases stacking up

until I finally see

on canvas

the images in my mind

painting binge is over

satisfying sigh

now it's drying time

clean up can wait

sleep finally comes.
