Step back, step back again, one more step

Ah can you see

now move back , move back further, another step

oh could this be

See the whole time you thought you were seeing it

you didn’t realize you were merely a part of it

now as you move back you see the picture changing

yep that’s because you’re too close to the painting

now you ask how far must i go to see the whole picture

well friend first you must step out of the frame

 

now you’re out you go back further

you can see much more but you’re not sure

still further still much more detail but the picture is still changing

you ask how much further

i say till you can see the whole frame

 

So further still you go now you see the frame

but the details are a blur cos you’re too far from it to see

the marks or the different curves and strokes

your eyesight is limiting you

so you ask what must i do?

Well you need a stronger vision

 

Now you see the perfect picture

see the strokes upon the canvas

stroke by stroke piece by piece

everything wonderfully made

but now it dawns on you the picture is abstract

i do not understand how to read it

then i say well you lack understanding

cos you don’t have the book  to guide you

Get the guide to the picture

get the understanding to interpret the picture

 

Now you’ve learnt to

step back for an objective view

Step out of the frame that prevents you from appreciating the picture

You have a strong vision that allows you to see

further than before

to see the picture from afar

The understanding to interpret the strokes

Now close your eyes and burn the picture in your mind

pick up your brush and start to paint the future,

Recreate your world
