Paint Chip Poetry

Oh how I love playing and creating with paint chips. Lately, I’ve been making plenty of paint chip poems. I decided to go through my “pile” of paint chips that I’ve been collecting from my frequent stops at our home improvement stores. While going through and organizing them into certain themes and topics, nearly 20 poems emerged.

So I began cutting, arranging and placing a variety of paint names on canvas, quirky and intriguing names meant to inspire homeowners to transform a tired kitchen or new home office. So far, “Desert Native” is now in the Drawn From the Desert Art Benefit show (Tamma's Magic Mercantile, Yucca Valley, CA) for a local artist--check out the show if you can, it is ongoing until the end of October 2011. Two more poems are completed and heading for Etsy, they are “Summer Camp” and “Mermaid Water Dance.”

The poems (each line a paint chip color/name):

Desert Native
Spring bloom
petal
cottontail.

Nimbus cloud
gossamer wings
something in the air
Canyon echo.

Summer Camp
Mountain trail
mirror lake
skipping stones

Canoe
wishful thinking
first kiss
How sweet it is.

Mermaid Water Dance
Beach
seaglass
bottle blue

Blue ocean
dolphin grey
glistening moonlight
mermaid water dance.
