Later Valentine

What is the reason for color
Our fear and love of red
Our jealousy over green
Our anxious joy for yellow
Black and white have to be imagined
But there was always a straggling
Rainbow visionary tucked away
In a corner of the painting
It can be restored and
Though it will cost you
The value will triple
In his later works
His palette settled down
To a madder brown
That intimated ground was found
In all the colors run together
