WORK IN PROGRESS - The unfinished painting is oil on canvas - Now the question is - should I paint in some coconut limbs just poking in over the old broken down fence and grass? What is YOUR opinion?

WORK IN PROGRESS

Whenever I sit down to paint
I always have to stop and think
Now what is it that I want to do
I’m not always sure, how about you?

Maybe in this case I’ll paint two old boats
Neither one of them being afloat
So I’ll sketch them in and…….
Paint in a blue-gray sky, ocean and sand

The boats have been abandoned in the sand
Right in the middle of no mans land
And now their sad, sad lot
Is to lay there forgotten, to rust and rot

Maybe there’s an old fence in the corner
It’s broken down and out of order
Well of course there is tall grass growing
Bright and sunny, there’s no snowing

How about some coconut limbs
Sticking out green and slim
A place to while away your dreams
The painting is of the Philippines

It’s fun to just let your mind wander
What else could be over yonder
What else to do, I wonder why
Shouldn’t there be some birds in the sky?

Well I’m not certain about those limbs
Maybe I’d better re-think them
Oh well no need for stress or sorrow
I can always finish it tomorrow
