William came home from school a bit ago. He has been completely obsessed with telling everyone and their mother about the fact that I have this small (very small, smaller than he’s even aware of) home art business going. I think he dreams of big dollar signs to buy that yacht (for real, he’s obsessed with the idea of owning a multi-million dollar yacht and talks about it like it’s a real possibility) he’s been eyeing. His latest marketing victim? His 4th grade teacher. He came home happily announcing that his teacher would like me to make her a Silly & Sage something.
This should be interesting.
“What does she want, William?”
“A beach scene,” he says.
I told him I don’t do beach scenes, I don’t have true artistic talent, free-hand painting is my not something I’m good at, and that this sale (that he, no doubt, would want a portion of) he had in mind just wouldn’t be happening.
He really didn’t get it.
You could totally do a beach scene…sand on the bottom…water and sky on top…and then a seagull, or herron, or shell or something. You should give it a try! I have confidence in you!
no way! i dont have any real artistic talent!
