Story

It was a sunflower sketch in a field where there were squiggles in the back that reminded me of piles of different flowers. In my mind, I had already painted this picture, and I decided to stand out and paint it without red. The ides was perfect, let it be without him at all, so that Annette would look at this picture and remember me.

“Can I take this one?” I went up to the painting and picked her up.

“Of course!” – Happy, almost a jump to me Annette came and began to look at this sketch with me. ” I hope you will enjoy drawing this piece of art! And i am sure it will look stunning.”

She hurriedly removed of the easel her recent painting and pointed her hand at empty seat next to it as if to say “please sit down and put your chosen picture”. I curtsied and sat down in front of easel. At that time she opened almost all the colors, moved my wrists and told me.

“I’ll be out of your way, I’ll sit quietly and watch the whole thing from the window. I hope you don’t mind?”

“I don’t mind, but…Won’t you be bored? I’m the one who’s going to be painting, not you. “

“Yeah, that’s why I’m wondering how your head can see that painting in paint. It inspires me because I see in my own way how it will look. So don’t worry and just enjoy the process. Put as much of your soul as you can into this picture because it will always be with me as a reminder of you.”

I nodded and smiled, signifying my agreement with the arrangement. Annette gleefully made her way to the windowsill and took a seat, placing her hands on her knees and signaling her readiness to observe me at work. It was a bit eccentric, which brought a slight grin to my face as I started working.

Without delay, I started translating my imagination into the canvas. The backdrop shifted to a deep, velvety blue, resembling the depths of a moonlit night. I sprinkled in some stars, even crafting a shooting star for an extra touch of luck. Taking center stage was a prominent sunflower. Opting to retain its natural charm, I carefully depicted the dark center and the golden petals. The surroundings were adorned with faded and wilting flowers amidst lush green grass. The scene exuded a charming aura that completely captured my attention, making time slip from my mind.
