IT'S WHAT AN ARTIST DOES

IT’S WHAT AN ARTIST DOES

 

When I told him I was painting,

he replied:  ‘You’re decorating?’

and I found that quite  annoying

so  I’ve found some time this morning

to invent a  word describing

what I do!

 

I could say that I am arting

but it sounds a bit like farting!

or I could say  I’m creating,

but it strikes me that crearting

is the best way of describing

what I do.

    Yes it is what you do Michael and what you have shown this morning is fabulous, thank you for sharing that wonderful artwork.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - I really appreciate your continual support for my work.

        A fine creartor you are M. Miss Berles says it must be 3 syllables if used!

        • Michael Edwards

          Ah yes - it's a Three Cilla Berles.

          • orchidee

            It's the end of the world - well, almost - if any unaccounted extra syllables sneak in. She counts each one! She says it'll cost us for extra syllables.

          • Fay Slimm.

            You most certainly are in that class of crearting as your wonderful brush-work proves - - - ha ha - a really droll write and love the new word.....

            • Michael Edwards

              Might put it on my visiting cards ....Thanks Fay.

            • Clara

              Oh I found that too, I've only recently starting creating, as you say. I'm very much the beginner... And your art work is simply breathtaking. Something to aspire to!

                    Great new word for the english dictionary. Super picture.

                    Difficult often for those outside our occupation types to understand the meaning of the everyday words we use to insiders.
                    Indeed its funny to think he believed you were decorating.
                    Now there's a point... do you do the decorating at home?

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Aw thanks dusk. I used to do all the decorating but these days I get painters in - or do I mean decorators, or paincorators?
