relentlesstoil's photostream  

Last weekend I was very fortunate to be allowed to return to the long, narrow paint closet - behind the high school orchestra pit, under the high school stage - which was my teenage domain. (I painted a LOT of scenery. A LOT. This is where all the theatre club's paint was kept, this was where I mixed many colors and washed many brushes, laughed with friends and smooched a few boys.)
It's going to be torn down in a few months. I'm not sad -- all things come and go and this is a thing, not a person -- still it meant so much to me to show it to my family, and to have a photo. Thanks Sam and Stom. :)

This is an edit of a drawing from a few years back. I wanted to tie it in to other recent reading-related work I've been doing for March Madness.

March is "reading madness" month at my daughter's school. We're pretty psyched.
