The thick smell of oil paints creeping into her studio,
Her clothes covered in splotches of color,
Her hands loosely gripping a slim bamboo brush,
The artist painted the dying sunset
On the canvas
In rich hues
Of pale orange
As it melted
Into the night.

One of my friends, taking art classes at this arts center called the Zhen Arts and Music Institute, painted a gorgeous sunset. I was inspired by the scenery and wrote this poem.
