The Artist likes to paint one picture before breakfast. When the world is quiet.
In a small red boat, he sits surveying the world around him, paying special attention to the sunlight, reflections, and the birds, of course. Always the birds. He’s not alone though. He has Young Dog and Old Dog, his friend the Storyteller, and his piano. But he’s most at home with his paintbrush, capturing the wonders of every day with his unique perspective.
This story encourages readers to embrace their inner artist and validates the time they devote to developing their skills.
