Description: Oil on Canvas
Little kids came riding/skating/ running over from the elementary school to watch me paint this (and ask a lot of questions). They got bored and left, but came back as I was finishing. As I was distracted by the lot of them, I smeared it on a plum branch while moving my easel away. I took a few minutes to fix it, and the same thing happened (on the same branch). I fixed it once more and went home very carefully. I actually stopped painting quite early in the day. This was one of 2 days in the whole year that I managed to get a date with a good looking girl; There were no girls in that town. That girl I never did see again either, this had a lot to do with me moving away.
