Moonlight bounces off a blank white canvas.
The artist stands in front of it
poised with palette and brushes in hand.
Lost in cosmic visions;
projecting them onto the rectangle of empty space.
Several seconds of silence pass,
then a sudden burst of force like the Big Bang!

Streaks and slashes of vibrant color shoot out in all directions.
A whirlwind of flying shades splashing surfaces without discretion;
canvas, rooftop, face -
not even the moon is immune to getting hit with flecks of paint.
The whole sky bombarded by crashing waves of pigment based rain thrown up with the force of a raging typhoon.

Slapped on thick,
the globs hit canvas with a deafening splat.
The stars themselves left shuddering from the impact.

A few final touches,
then the artist stands back.
The universe is struck dumb by its essence reflected
in a 29 x 36" frame.
She signs her name
and smiles.
