if i wasn't an artist

what do i call this painted poem?

if i wasn't an artist

24 x 48

why did i paint this?

if i wasn't an artist i'd steal poetry written by a friend during epic california surf side high.

if i wasn’t an artist i’d be a dancer

and if i wasn’t that i’d be an astronaut

with a really thick helmet

or a cowboy with a brim

but if i wasn’t that

i’d be a teacher,

yes, a teacher

or a singer with a sold-out arena,

everyone shouting my name

and also i’d be a scientist

or detective

but if not that i’d be a pilot

and an architect

and if i wasn’t that I’d hammer roofs

and sell shoes

and serve sandwiches in a corner shop

or I would bang on wall street

and diversify portfolios

and I’d coach soccer to teach a better way

and use things the way they're unintended

and tattoo birds on my arm

to fight fear

and do all the things that matter

because if i wasn’t an artist

I'd still be an artist

is it framed?

most likely yes.  all frames are made of  up-cycled construction site left over's. i attempt to frame them all, however ...   it's just me.

if you want to guarantee it is framed, add $200

can i paint you something similar?

maybe, but change is uncomfortable.  and i've found repeating an original idea postpones kent from finding himself.
