Layers

Layers

 

I am starting to see my life – all life – as I see my paintings –

layers upon layers

some layers are one color

some layers add texture

some layers are every different color of the rainbow

some layers turn out like mud

some layers are flat and shiny

some layers are rough around the edges

because I tried to sand something off

that I thought shouldn’t be there

 

Though-

I see now

even the ugliest layers

even the ones I thought were pure beauty

don’t matter

when looked at alone

they all only matter

when looked at

as a whole picture

and I see now

that even when I think I am done

adding layers

there is always room for more

more texture

more colors

more love
