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.
