Painting Portraits
December 15, 2020
Study light
as it cascades
across planes of skin.
The nose disrupts the path
casting a hooked shadow
over constellations.
Match the tones.
Mix the colors,
combinations of reds, yellows, blues,
blacks and whites.
Pigment seeps into bristles
and acrylic catches
on bumps
on canvas.
Capture the greens
nestled in the corners of eyes.
Capture the purples
that hollow the cheeks.
Cultivale life in two dimensions.
