Chapter .47.

Do not go gentle into the night.

RAGE, RAGE.

Against the dying of the light.

What are you going to paint Lexie?

A cloud.

Good. Good Lexie. Tell me. Describe to me how you'll paint the cloud.

Blue. I would start with a pale blue for the sky.

What next Lexie.

You wouldn't expect it, but I would dab the middle with grey. A dark grey, to create the background of the cloud.

Go on.

It will make shadows. And be the underside. Then I would add the white. I would put it above the grey and bring it down to mix the colors.

And then?

White. I would need pure white. I would clean my brush. Or maybe get another one. A smaller one that had thicker blend to it. And I would add the pure white.

Good Lexie. Good. Keep thinking of that. Keep thinking of that cloud for later. For when you get back to your paints.

Okay.
