North American Dreaming: Canvas
William Burkholder expresses in verse why painting excites him.

Canvas speaks to me in bellowing tones
Paint and brushes the artist's bones
Setting the vision in framed ideal world
Paint and ochre dipped and splashed
Finding voice in visions choice
Letting pictures speak aloud
Not for fame or hallowed crowd
Not for coin or painter's shroud
Sketching mind's eye on canvas board
Surreal modern avante garde
