Colour Alchemy

So many new paths,

Too many to choose.

What colour is waiting?

Which one will I use?

.

The options are endless,

Each choice brings delight,

The outcome a journey,

No wrong, or no right.

.

My palette lies waiting,

My paints are nearby.

My brushes are ready,

My playtime is nigh.

.

I squeeze out the paints,

Each drop comes alive,

Ev'ry nugget a treasure,

To take a deep dive.

.

I start mixing colours,

The joy is intense,

Possibilities endless,

Delights every sense.

.

Unexpected concoctions,

Build marvellous jewels,

Orange, green, grey and purple,

From these simple tools.

.

Pink, brown, plum and turquoise,

Peach, lime, violet, rust,

No colour more useful,

Each needed, each must.

.

Every colour that shows up,

Each one has its place.

Understanding the journey,

Gives each one it's space.

.

The mixing of pigments,

Trust, follow your heart.

No rules, no restrictions,

Colour alchemy in art.
