Poet Reading-6: The Big Brush

This poem..."The Big Brush"...was written some years ago...when I was in full flight...
having discovered the joy of painting...acrylics on canvas. Painting...is a creative
idiom...that is strong in utilising...our tactile sense. There's something very soothing...and therapeutic...about applying wet paint to canvas. I remember when i first started painting...some part of me...that had not really been utilised...in my
song...poem...and prose writing...rejoicing...at finally being employed. This and more
...made me realize...that painting could become...a refuge for me...as a creative artist. It was from this back drop that this poem came.............Quester.
