I am an Artist
I am a creative person with a soft, wet, brush.
I have a canvas in my house.
I paint people in a busy rush.
I paint a lady showing off a blue blouse.
I paint the world, top to bottom.
I paint nature and flowers.
I paint pretty pink blossom.
I am addicted to painting, I could be here for hours.
My brush moves all over the paper.
The colours I stroke on are the colours of life.
I post my designs in the local newspaper.
Sometimes I spread the paint with a knife.
Even though I may not be the smartest, there's no denying I am an Artist!
