If you look around the world is made up of color
blocks of shape straight edged and finite
others more obscure like blobs
from a spilled paint can
but when these shapes become distinct
and your eyes can see the abstract
in the literal then you’ll become a better artist
giving an organic quality to your work
add the ebb and flow of darkness and light
to make these shapes emerge
in a story of epic proportions
of life and death, love and hate
the juxtaposition of contrasting colors
will make your picture, “pop”
and take you from the millions of unnamed artists
to create a style of your own
unique enough to stand the fickleness of time
to become a reference point in the history of art
better than a good artist to one that is great.
Inspired by the artist Diebenkorn
