His paper is besmeared with blue paint.
It's water, he says, with sweetgum balls in it.
Globs and globs of blue,
Blue as the blobs
Beneath his long, long lashes.
Such intense concentration
On the crinkly wrinkly paper
Sodden with three-year-old genius.
(April 2006)
This is Ethan, painting :)

- I'm taking up writing again for the summer and as of August 2012 will be posting delightful tidbits from my upcoming study abroad in Kyrgyzstan with the School for Russian and Asian Studies.
Perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, but I hope you'll still take time to let a thousand words paint a picture.
