I was by the summer house painting
It was a huge canvas
I was using only yellow
As I was painting the sun
On completion I would only use blue
And then green
These were my summer paintings
Klara was in the swimming pool with Jacob
They were having fun
Klara was originally my model
And then my muse
When Jacob arrived
She became my wife
I was slightly worried about my art
As I had seemed to have reached a plateau
I could not see behind my minimalism
When my summer paintings were complete
I would abandon painting until the winter months
And then repeat the process using only
Black Grey and White
These would be my winter paintings
My family was so happy with me
As I was with them
But I felt that my talents were draining away
Which was a bleak prospect
