When Adam Came to Town (2013)
“She moved to the table that held her paints and brushes, all lined up like little soldiers ready to go to war. At the moment, it felt like an apt analogy.
She continued past several half-completed canvases she’d abandoned years ago and had left at home when she’d returned to Toronto. She stopped, pulled one of the larger ones out and wrinkled her nose. She’d never mastered painting boats at sea. She shoved it back out of sight behind the other canvases and moved on, finally, to stand in fro...nt of the fresh canvas she’d stretched and sized yesterday.
After spending the entire day preparing several canvases, she’d felt fantastic, rejuvenated. It had been like old times, anticipation thrumming through her.
Nothing left to do but paint. She adjusted the two-by-three canvas. She had bigger canvases, but she hoped starting small might make creating a painting more approachable. Maybe she should have prepared an even smaller one.MoreLess
