Art Thoroughly

I began with a Sketch, I draw your really quickly

Not looking for perfection

I sense your feelings and thoughts and began to illustrate

A brief light artistic signifcant composition

Creating your masterpiece without a mistake

I draw you giving you all of myself

Hoping it won't be the wrong decision and have to erase

I pencil you in I only have a idea of you only a interest I feel in my heart

However, as I continue I discover more about you

I draw the sketch to a close, finding out u have turned into a work of art

With the sketch almost complete, I seize the mood of this precise feeling

Capturing the frame of mind, that causes a heart some healing

Sketch is complete and move on to the final drawing

I draw you with more patience taking my time

No distractions all concentration ahead, no errors

Bringing out your face, your expressions. I emphasis no errors

Using the drawing as if I could turn it into a painting on canvas

Through its colors and creativity that could speak its own lectures

Beginning to paint, I recreate you that's felt in my heart and thought about in my mind

Painting what I see, what I feel, what I want.

The canvas talks on its own, your portrait is finished, not blinded

Is your portrait there on my canvas, the work of art that sits in front of us?

Is it you that I painted, that's could be sold at a art gallery

And that could push an affectionate bonus

Is it u that I painted so thoroughly?
