Some make their art in special ways

Painting without brushes ... unafraid

To dip their fingers in colors so rich

Then transfer it to paper with pitch 



Thus forming images not quite exact

But suggesting forms with some impact

Creating illusions out of colored smears

Equating with minds, but not the years



It's a form more implied than detailed

Covering not only hands but one's nails

Leaving a certain shine from the pigment

Warming the mind and making a statement
