Kitty Camellia

Kitty Camellia, 6 3/4"X7 3/4" Oil on Cigar Box 2023.

Painting on the chaise on a century Sunday.

When all about power tools suburban mundane

Kev's on the roof and he sees me painting

Ask what I’m doing, there's no explaining

I hold it up to show him(my sunburned arms need salve)

He says to me"thats a good hobby to have"

Hobby?! I think, this is life or death!

Skipping meals means nothing when each brush stroke is a measured breath.
