Painting JFK

Plunge in with a sombre red,
Arm yourself with a palette and easel like Picasso,
Is the canvas about lazy cows or dazzling sun-sets?
Narrow the field to portraits of JFK or still life plums,
Touch the brush with water then paint an outline,
Is the masterpiece being born?
Now observe how each brush stroke blends with the next,
Glorious, JFK sits in a bubble of electric blue, smiling.
