Painting My Brick

Stonefire Art Studio was full of surprises. One day Maxine  would assign you to paint a brick outside and the next day you were inside moving a bunch of junk around. Most of the time while working outside of the building, the sun would be beaming down upon your head. When there was work to be done inside, it was usually in the back room with all the dusty stuff that has been sitting in there.

 I preferred being outside in the fresh air painting the walls just relaxed. While painting, the cars of my high school friends sped by just getting out of school. I continue to paint even when the paint would be dripping down my arm as I remained focused on my unique artwork brick. The scent of paint filled the air as the wind blew around me. I chewed my minty gum keeping me on task. My hand would start to cramp up after consistently painting without stopping. That was my favorite day volunteering for my BCC class at Stonefire.
