[ GV ] Artists, Rejoice!

 
For if life is truly of one's own making;
you need only better your craft
 
---be an artist who  
not only aspires to create
great or at least adequate  
works of art worthy  
of adorning walls with
 
but also desires adequate
to nothing less than great
walls worthy of being  
complemented with artwork
 
Why should either
be out of your reach
if both require belief
imagination and focus?
 
Gallery, canvas, living room . . .
 
each of these requires
thoughtful painting
as well as
painted thought
