Found Colors

Sitting on a car on the street of the cul-de-sac I watch the dog's coats go by: Merle, brindle, liver, tuxedo, harlequin, flecked, spotted and sable I enter the studio and observe the rock collection on the table: Adamantine, vitreous, greasy, metallic, resinous and dull I went out to the local coffee shop and looked at the flavours of teas on the menu: Lemon balm, ginger, cinnamon, orange, peppermint, hibiscus and rooibos Then I'll be splattering in broad hues paintings of all types: Watercolours, oils, pastel, acrylic, pencil, ink, ball point pen, fresco and gouache
