Perfection

dark behind light

then more dark

but not as much

on either side...

different shades of

greens are used

to create tree leaves,

the artist eyes the event

then tries to emulate

as best as they can

typically falling short

of nature even though it

looks like a photograph,

different brushes used

different knives as well

twisting and turning

to get the right angle

the right depth of field....

and when the artist

steps back to observe

when the paint has dried

it is an awesome feeling

to have inside one's self

when perfection is achieved.
