Pantry
Vermeer had a theme like this,
'Maidservant pouring Milk'.
Mine is totally synthetic
So nylon to his silk.
However,
Painting from inside my head,
(Remembered or imagined),
What I include is my intent.
While -
If you paint only things you see
It means that you won't invent.
Worse still to copy photographs, where,
No matter what you choose,
Someone else has chosen
The ideas that you use.
Paraphrasing Jesus, 'By their fruits they
Shall be known'. . . but whose fruits?
