art worth framing

I start with a blue sky.

taking the brush, dipping it into
the little tub
of blue.

I add some clouds, dabbing white.

then the ocean...some green, some more
blue.
I swish
in some waves.

drop in a gull or two with a fine
brush.

I throw in some rocks along the shore,
then a sailboat
with the sails full of wind.

I stand back and take a look. it's
a mess.
a primitive van gogh
at best.

a ten year old could do better,
but I think i'll have it framed

and hung with others, in the den.
