Assignment 12- Megan Woodrum

I don't get used on a daily basis, not even weekly, but sometimes Megan will stop being so lazy or feel creative one day and start to paint. I watch as she sets off to work sketching and getting out her paints and canvas and then it starts. I get a plunge in cold water and then I begin to swirl colors together; making purples and oranges and all shades and colors. I help her smear them on her canvas this way and that, forming shapes and pictures where there was only white before. Together we make her picture come to life in a vibrant new form. We can work for hours at a time, she never seems to think that her picture is good enough, but I never complain I just like the exercise and feeling like I'm useful again. Eventually Megan will have somewhere to go or the day has ended, I will get a good wash and then I'll be put neatly away next to my brothers until the next time we will create something together.
