I have this theory about color. If you’d like it explained, check out “Paint Theory!” To see the photos that accompany this poem, click on “View Original Post” below the poem.

Paint Theory
Nature abounds in color.
On everything in sight,
the only colors you won’t see
are boring black and white.
Yet minimalists love what’s spare:
black and white and gray.
A splash of colorhere andthere
is enough, they say.
I agree restraint is best
where decorating goes.
There should be some rules
concerning where paint flows.
On walls and cabinets and floors,
on doorknobs, furniture and doors,
The only place where you should paint
is anywhere where pigment ain’t!
(The photos below may best be seen by clicking on the first one and then the arrows.)
The Prompt word today was “Paint.”

I saw the pictures on your blog. And when I saw that I smiled — you have the same theory I do:
“The only place where you should paint
is anywhere where pigment ain’t!”
Fun, fun, write and rhyme

This is charming humorous and damned clever Judy – I love it. My wife and I being artists, we believe the world benefits from color, we would cover it in much texture and fiber, plus a little paint.

I like this, especially your first line, and the last 2, and the rhyme scheme. Very well written, I can just imagine someone going wild with paint!
