A sketch …

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

 

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

The ladies of the art club set up their easels and gazed at the pastoral scene.

Alice held a stick horizontally then vertically.  She saw a painter do it once though she’s not sure why.  Then she started splodging paint here and there.

Ruby scribbled outlines, cocked her head then nodded.  With farts and pops, her tubes dispensed little piles of paint onto her palette. 

Thora moved her brush slowly and precisely,  her nose inches from the emerging image.

Three hours later they finished.  Thora’s, too perfect for words,  Ruby’s, a riot of colour and Alice’s, well, impressionistic!

Next,  cucumber sandwiches and tea!

    “With farts and pops” – that could have turned nasty haha.
    Not everyone has talent

    Excellent, Keith! I was definitely in the moment on that one. That second paragraph was hilarious!

    Five out of five cucumber sandwiches — and beer at five o’clock.

    “cucumber sandwiches and tea”? I thought these events always induced wine… Anyway, when A, R and T get together, the outcome is always interesting, wine or tea.

    Dear Keith,

    Love the names. Love the title. Oh the sounds of the squirting colours. Brilliant–froggie and all.

    Shalom,

      I do and my brother has quite a collection of her works on the walls of his pub. Now you come to mention it, this would be a typical subject matter for her! Cheers Annalisa.

    I love this, Keith. My sister participated in a class where everyone tries to paint one certain object. It’s amazing the different results. I really will have to try it one day… when we don’t have to worry.

    Fabulous, Keith. This could be the mission statement of Friday Fictioneers and the frog our mascot. Such a light-hearted romp.

      Of course you can, with jam and cream, or cream then jam whichever is your preference!

    The pastoral scene you pained with words was wonderful, Keith. I have a picture in my mind. But, it’s PB&J and red wine for me. Thank you.

    I expect it is the ambition and company that colours their lives. Nicely told as it evokes the spirit of afternoon tea and gossip.

    Sounds like every art class I ever attended, apart from the cucumber sandwiches.

    The pallette of colours, but I love the cucumber sandwiches with tea, the best.

    Looks like a fun jaunt, this.

    I imagine the description of their paintings will also match their work stations.

    It seems they all enjoyed the afternoon, which is the most important thing.
