The Improvement

Jean Pierre: I've decided to still keep painting even tho I'm not selling.
Marina: The canvases are cramming up the studio so, but its good your confidence is not deterred.
Jean Pierre: I aim to paint my way out of a slump. Start a new canvas before the other one has dried.
Marina: I hope they have enough canvases at the retailers.
Jean Pierre: If not I'll tear up my shirts and paint on those.
Marina: That's the spirit, only make sure my gaze is averted first. I am a lady you know.
Jean Pierre: I shall paint as if you are a princess, a modern day muse.
Marina: Don't muse on me too much, it may not amuse me.
Jean Pierre: Be sure the results will.
Marina: I'd prefer they amused the bank manager more.
Jean Pierre: Perhaps I should paint a thousand pound note.
Marina: I'm sure you could recreate its lifelikeness perfectly.
Jean Pierre: Its sad that my talent is weighed by the scales of commerce.
Marina: Especialy as genius has to wait for its audience to catch up with it.
Jean Pierre: If I was a poorer painter they would say I was promising and showed potential.
Marina: And they would purchase your work as a reminder of early beginnings.
Jean Pierre: Its my failing that I paint like a forty year old at twenty.
Marina: When its the opposite way around for most forty year olds.
Jean Pierre: I don't allow for expectation.
Marina: People are just looking for the cracks in yor perfection.
Jean Pierre: If I were perfect tho I would paint imperfectly.
Marina: Then you'd have room for improvement.
Jean Pierre: Yes, instead of painting myself into a corner.
Marina: With nowhere to go.
Jean Pierre: Except down.
Marina: You can't go any further down can you?
Jean Pierre: Huh?
Marina: I mean, look at the sales!
Jean Pierre: I'd be able to if there were any.
