self portrait with seven fingers
artists like women need at least
seven fingers to complete all their
required jobs . Paris may beckon
from the window or the country
plague the imagination but holding
brush in teeth, pallet in hand; extra
fingers hold on to the ecstasy of
creation. two extra fingers on each
hand are enough to pick a flower for
the lapel, to wipe a tear, to brush back
hair fallen in frenzy. women carefully
juggle the extra touches just as artists do.
they both do it all with the fingers they
were born with and a burning desire to
always do just a little bit more.
