I Have Evolved
When I began to paint canvases, all of my girls had
one hair color, they were monochrome.
I was fearful of trying anything else.
Timid.
Hesitant.
Unsure, not wanting to waste supplies.
Canvases are expensive.
I shocked myself the first time I decided to
try two colors. That was four years ago, but I
remember the agony it caused, as I deliberated
about wasting an eight dollar canvas.
Today I have put together a girl with five hair
colors, and I am deliberating about adding a sixth.
I have painted five such girls in the past week.
Evolution is a beautiful time, and experience
makes you daring.
