It was one of those ordinary days, between a smile and a milk binge, little Margot was crying her heart out. She couldn't close her eyes, and I could tell that something was not going right. "Oh damn! We're out of diapers." I walk into the store with a determined air, heading straight for the children's section. But inevitably, my determination falters in the face of the allure of the DIY section. A tower of acrylic colors stands majestic, and despite the urgency of the child, I find myself grabbing them all. The canvas and a handful of random brushes follow suit. I return home with the loot, while changing the little one, wondering if there's a right or wrong way to handle a paintbrush. She's clean, we're all happy.

This was my first time using brushes and acrylics on canvas. The collector will receive the physical piece at home.
