I wrote this poem about what goes into the pictures I draw. Hope you enjoy it....

A blank sheet of paper,
a challenge, like a new love.
A heart so vulnerable, yet willing to give.

My pencil is my medium,
channeling my minds thoughts to my hand for expression.
Driving me to create
an impression of what I feel.
Like two hearts connecting as one,
learning to communicate.

My eyes are my guide,
judging proportion and depth.
Like feelings we judge what to give
and how much.

My eraser is my mask,
a tool I use to hide or rub out the imperfections.
You mustn't see any imperfections,
you deserve everything to be just right.

When I am finished, I use my initials
to claim my creation, a copyright,
in its own way, making it unique.
There may be others similar,
but none are just like mine.

The frame is a protecter, and keeper
though forever changeable, always a shield.
Others may look through,
but the glass keeps it ours, keeps it safe.

I give you this creation,
myself within every part.
As a way to express my feelings,
A way to express my heart.
