A painter's progress

Fog and fug, grit brown, deep striations, a blush of pink rises through a glaze of smoke... a burnt orange melts into a caustic violet ash... bubbling umbers, of oil and residue, the cool breeze of cerulean blue... then, a mechanical yellow, breathing blisters from a greenish bronze... Mere descriptions, slowly unfold a hidden narrative, representing nothing, in reality...Just colour, applied; some of it lived and some of it died...
