The Fear Of The Blank Canvass 7/1/2003 7:23:21 PM
So, I have a blank canvass.
Brightwhite and bright new
and I am just so aware
of its extraordinary
potentiality.
Just now, just here
it could be any painting
any picture, any scene
or any symbol,
not just here on Earth
but anywhere at all.
Infinite potentiality.
Infinite colours.
Infinite possibility.
It makes me shudder.
And you're asking me
to really now
pick up my paintbrush
and to place
that first line,
that very first
splat of paint
which in an instant
will collapse
all this
potentiality
into nothing more
than a single painting
by my very hand?
====================================
On the bright side - I've done it now, Strength Through Courage, and there are swirls of blue and green to be seen. When it is complete, it will be entirely unique and never having been before in all the times and all the spaces - it will be manifest and this my friend has merit too.
