What Is Essential

A weathered wall.

Layers of paints

exposed.

A new look

for each

different season.

Wind and weather

strip

gnaw

peel away

and

show what

is hidden.

A painting.
Layers of paint

on top

the other.

Each new stroke

more important

than the

one before.

First coat,

the simplest.

Pure primer.

But is

the most

integral.
