Lyrics to "Portrit" Paintin' Blues by Thomas Nash
I' d be happy to post the lyrics. It should be noted that the three songs on the CD were written especially for other artists. For non portrait painters some of the references may be a bit "inside" but hey, why not have our own songs? It was nice to see how much everyone at the Washington Conference seemed to enjoy them.
I should also add, that I'm very glad that I'm a portrait painter, in fact I tried to make that clear in the final verse. In 35 years I've seen it all and I'm still smiling. This song is tongue in cheek and not intended to give the detractors of our favorite form of art any more ammunition!
Tom
