Angle and poise,
the lamp it casts the shadow upon the model,
upon which you train your eyes,
and the light casts the shadow,
for you to capture in paint,
a picture upon the canvas,
for which the model is employed.
Angle and poise,
light casts the shadow,
and the model draws you in,
and you anoint her with colour,
as she stands still with calmness in her eyes,
and her patience is a virtue for with every brush stroke,
you outline the detail and lay the base colours,
and paint it in,
paint it in with thousands of brush strokes,
that are flattering and kind,
and the hours fly by and the days,
and where you create the art with the skill and the learning,
with which your brushes you employ,
and where the art comes from the heart,
and pours from the mind,
what an enlightening thing it is,
angle and poise,
and the art,
and of the art that you will frame in a gallery,
you will pray and hope for the best,
and if the lights are right,
and after much arduous work and effort,
you hope others will like and buy.
