 The Art of Plein Air Hats

Before the artist sees the scene,

head needs a cover, a sunscreen;

before the artist picks a brush,

must choose a cover, nothing lush;

before the artist daubs a hue,

head needs something to stick like glue;

before the artist strokes a stroke

a cap is needed, that's no joke;

the artist picks, style of the day,

a hat to stay out of the way.
