Tattered Canvas by: Bhim Pandya

The tale of Michael and Angela

​

Art at the Art store

​

18" x 24"?

 

maybe too small love

​

36" x 48" ?

​

maybe too big love

​

30" x 40"?

​

maybe the right size love

​

Enough for two people to paint

​

Warm and cool colors Love?

​

I like to be in nature love

​

In a Wheatfield with cypresses then?

​

We can sit there and eat potatoes love...

​

Or on the terrace of a café love?

​

Under the starry night looking for shooting stars in the irises

​

Past the stroke of midnight

​

Actually a full hour and forty three minutes past the stroke of midnight

​

Lets create a Van Gogh love 

​

And we can whisper and hear for we both have ears

​

I am warm and ready to go

 

I am cool and ready to go

 

A roll from here, to and fro

 

Water and color, warm and cool

 

Coming together on a canvas 

 

A warm here and a stroke there

 

A roll there and a cool here

​

Dipping and stroking covering the canvas

​

Riiiiippppppppppp...

 

At last, out of paint and complete
 

The canvas love

​

What happened love?

​

The canvas love

​

What happened love?

​

It Tattered...

​

What is this poem about?

​

It is about two artists who are in love with art and...  They purchase a giant canvas and decide to paint together.  As artists, they possess individual artistic preferences. While one likes to use paint brushes the other a roller, one cool colors, the other warm.  In their effort to paint a picture, they end up tearing the canvas apart. It is supposed to be funny.
