Art Lesson 2

Is it because I'm dark, that I paint darkly?

Now, that's a crackpot question, Mapovia
how silly of you to ask

But what must I do to paint light?

First, prime the canvas stark and white.
Next, pour over it sand and low grade cement.

Then what?

Entertain happy thoughts as you dab it with paint.
Hum, "Somewhere over the rainbow."

That's it?

Not quite. Mutilate yourself Van Gogh style
in butterfly fields neath a sky of screaming magenta.
