Purity
I want my colors bright.
Pure.
Undiluted. Unmixed.
Joy that is joy.
Love that is love.
No pollution.
No hedging.
No “But’s”.
Nothing but color
and light.
About this poem.
I hate mixed emotions. And yet here I am, living in the age of them. Maybe that is why I paint in pure colors.

Tom,
Your poetry and art just touches my heart.
Indeed we are living in difficult times.
May God bless you and keep you and your family safe!

Too much mixing does “muddy the water” and colors. I know, I’ve overmixed emotions and paints! – still some blending must be part of the Divine Intention since 3 of the colors, my favorites actually, on the “wheel” are mixtures. Holding space for you in these times of ever shifting balance points.
It has been a thing I have struggled with all my life. Mixed emotions drive me crazy. And yet, that is life!
