tales and some not

the kingdom

i painted a picture last Wednesday.
it was of a living room. i had a place in mind as i dipped my brushes. (i skipped my sketches as i wanted to get it done even before i started)

I started with the curtains with a tinge of beige. i heard light colours make life grandeur. then i drew the curtain rings constrasting, cutting, bridling.
it took me over an hour to move onto the window panes which i licked with charcoal and a hint of gray.

but the sepia sky through the sturdy panes dulled the beige in its splendour. sigh for all its grandeur.
the warm afternoon caught my eye, i decided to settle for just a terrace in the meanwhile.
