The art of an artist

The artist loves
and draws,
paints and pauses
and stops and looks back
and picks up a new
canvas
to suit what he wants. 
Just as the gardener digs,
plants, trims and cares,
all, for his garden to take 
a new look,
weeding now and then,
as he must, changing his
tools as suitable to him,
just as the artist changes
colours and his brushes, 
just as he must..
The weeds and the plants,
the colours and the brushes 
thus remain their tools
in pursuit of their scapes.
