The Artist

Yellow draws me into summer sunshine with sketches of sunflowers, yellow birds and daffodils sliding down hillsides

Yellow paints vast fields of flowering canola, domed by cloudless blue sky, calls birds, bees and butterflies to dine

Yellow sculpts deep shadows shapes of trees, bridges and sky scrapers texturing landscape of prairies or mountains

Yellow throws bright splashes
through windows with the swing of the sun
brushing aside curtains and shades

Yellow draws, for my heart and soul
a picture of joy and hope ~
a brilliant idea that makes me happy.

“In the world of safe hues, like black, red and white, 

yellow shouts:‘Look at me. I’m happy!’”
