I tend to take things literally. It's a problem. When my mother worried I was weird because I spent most of my time alone in my room with an 18x24" pad of the best ever nubbly paper and a collection of 4, 5 and 6B pencils, she insisted I join my cousin's 4-H Club. I had no interest but off I went. I was given the job of secretary at our first meeting. When we adjourned, the pres asked me to read the minutes back. I looked at my watch and promptly shot back... "25!"
Today's theme for dailypainters.com is obvious, no?
LOL!!! I'd love to buy you a drink one day and just hear more stories like the one you related. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you approached this challenge. The dark expansive background and the box lends the viewer so many stories that can be inspired by the image. Love it.
I like that you didn't just use plain old browns for the box.
ReplyDeleteI see some nice reddish-browns and warm yellow-tans which give this simple subject matter some life and personality.
