using play feathers and real fingers

and colors they mixed and made

 one

chose to paint

only white on white paper

 to see what it would look like

 it was a beautiful painting

all nuance and shade and texture.

  14. I needed teachers like you. When I was in Kindergarten, the nun passed out paper and finger paint for a Halloween art project. Before she got around to giving us instructions, I had painted my paper entirely orange. I was not praised for my initiative or curiosity. The shame did not traumatize me, wait, I still remember the incident. Thanks to you I finally have closure!
