The Art of Life


I don’t know much about life

But I know about art

Art is a hard task; there are no shortcuts

Art is not always beautiful

It sometimes can be depressing

The right brush can create a masterpiece

Don’t be concerned if ever you make a mistake

They are most of the time easy to fix

Although the stain remains

As remembrance

Don’t cling on to your old pieces

Make new and better ones

Wash your brushes

Use a clean canvas

Don’t use lead based paints

Paint what your hearts desires

And you’ll be happy

I don’t know much about art

But I know something about life.
