Red, purple,
Blue, green
And yellow hues
Littered the pale
Ivory of the canvas.
Red blending in to purple,
Then to blue
And to green and yellow.
Before fading away to the pale
Ivory of the canvas.
Scattered streaks
Of harsh red and pink,
Oozing drops
Of blood red
Slide down the pale
Ivory of the canvas.
The Painted,
Stained,
Smeared,
Marked,
Tainted state of the pale
Ivory of the canvas
Brought to perception
That a painter
Doesn't always need
A paintbrush.
