Chapter 10: Deal
Dipping my brush in the blue paint I pause to get a overview of the whole painting once again and adding the final detail. I was painting the field that Eli and I played in when we first met, the start of our friendship. I only started last week And finished it today, since when I got my brush at age 5 I didn't immediately start on this. I've been practicing on small things for practice like flowers, trees and clouds. So I could then take all those things I had learnt for the past year to create this my first 'masterpiece' you could say.
The canvas for this piece is the size of an A3 sheet of paper. The thin green and yellow strokes forming the grass and flowers that littered the place. Thick strong lines for the surrounding trees and the messy, uniform leaves on the tree. The focus of the painting was in the middle, two boys one taller and than the other. His legs stretched up as if he kicked something the fluidity of his figure was stunning, the force and energy from his legs.
The shorter boy was leaning back with a incredulous look on his face as a black and white blob flew past his face.
"How do you have such patience to paint one thing for so long?"Eli said looking at my first 'masterpiece'.
"You known what my mum always says don't you?" I asked him back.
"Of course I do... wait which one again?"
"Seriously? Haa~ if a man or woman has goal, dream, purpose they can do anything if they don't have one their purpose should be to find a purpose to dream about what their dream is." I couldn't blame him, mum always says such wise and philosophical things it's kinda hard to remember all of them.
"Ohh that one."
"Yeah that one. Well you know my goal dream whatever but what's yours?" He still hasn't told me his.
"I'm not as smart as you nor as talented with a weapon as you but I am good at helping others and I'm sure you'll become someone great and I'll make you even greater." His confidence in me was nice, gratifying? It's hard to describe.
"Heh looks like I can't slack off." I put my fist out.
"Of course you can't you'll have to live up to your name." Fist clenched as well we fist pumped.
"Really? What a drag." I grinned.
"Ba la la la la la."
"You're weird." I deadpanned at his 'quirks'
