i like how you used the word “coagulating” right after the word red. beacuse that word always makes me think of blood but thats just me…

I absolutely loved the last sentence…good ficlet!

Stories with an emotional twist always give me the shivers. Well done! Although you didn’t paint a picture, you described it.

well im better with dialouge and describing not painting a picture with out being decriptive. not sure what u were going for tho.

Lovely. I loved this story! By reading your words, I could imagine the scene in my head. I pictured people walking by this painting and observing it. Also, I like how you captured peoples varied reactions. You expressed your thoughts effectively on this story. Job well done!

Lovely little story, and I think you succeeded in painting more the scenario and feeling than the visual image itself, no small feat in itself. Nice twist ending. Third paragraph ‘where’ should be ‘were’, methinks.

the ending is excellent. This is a very good story told with thick description. An impasto work of words.

I dont know what Pyro is talking about, I think you painted a picture. ironically of a picture, so vividly i could picture it’s magnificence in my mind. Bravo.

You captured the essence of painting a picture visualy so well, I could picture the colors too, like M.Paul Regret said.

I agree with i live nylsc about “coagulating” (Which, btw, is a cool word, just the way it feels as one says it. :D ) Overall, wonderful story.

I love the idea that blue can be an ocean to some people, and to others the sky. I’m not sure what it is for me. I’ll have to think about it! :)
