   The poet finds he can sell the painting and make as much as if he had worked all week. Afer all ... a picture is worth a thousand words.

   Is it a Haiga that is the combination of a poem (haiku) and a painting?
   
   Cause I think it is, and that's what happens when a poet paints.

      I sit and I paint,
      But I’m really a poet--
      Schizophrenia.

    I do both. To express myself by any means necessary is in my character. It's not something I consciously think of doing, it's just part of who I am. I have a need to express myself in a way that has no boundaries. Art is the only thing that brings any sense of satisfaction for me.

    His/her words take form in image and colour creating a canvas of movement and life.

    You get some very odd colors or some very abstract art with lots of emotion in it.

    I wrote poetry before I painted. I do both now, although I paint more than I write. I made music and songs before I painted and while I painted, but don't do that much anymore. I'm not a good singer, and an average muscian.
    My art is full of emotion.
