Retratados
by Kirsten McKenzieEle observava de perto o retrato inacabado no cavalete. Era um esboço mal definido do rosto de uma mulher, os olhos ainda vazios. Apenas o contorno em forma de amêndoa e as sobrancelhas estavam feitas, esperando que o artista capturasse a parte mais difícil de qualquer mulher. Ele refletiu sobre a direção que deveria tomar.

A garotinha estendeu a mão e girou um de seus dedos pelo conteúdo na paleta. Com o dedo, ela manchou a pintura na tela, as cores em um contraste gritante aos tons cinza dos traços ágeis do artista. Juntos, eles admiraram seus esforços. "Não demorou muito, duas noites", ele disse, acariciando os cabelos dela. Soltos de sua fita branca, eles espalharam-se por seus ombros como as samambaias no corredor, vibrantes e vivas. Seu próprio sorriso sumindo enquanto
