Member-only story
A mix of raw umber, some yellows, burnt sienna and blues
Would be the beginning of my very own painting
A self portrait, a representation of me using different hues
Because I get to define the ultimate ending.
I can add black to create a dramatic shade
Or add white to create a tint of less intensity
The combination of colors that I have displayed
Are the very same colors that can be used to paint you and me.
A series of brush strokes across any canvas
A mixture of both a warm and cool pigment
To create the version of myself that I see without any bias
Who is beautiful and an imperfectly perfect figment.
When I take a look at the painting staring back at me
It screams this is your self portrait, your self identity
There are all these different colors that blend so seamlessly
All creating the penultimate symphony.
