Nature's Artist


The rolling hills, green with plentiful grass and dotted with brightly colored flowers, seemed to swallow up the light sun overhead with abnormal slowness. The sky's deep blue gave in to the night, promising a return come daytime. To the right, tall lush trees shot up and pierced the air, darkening the ground below them. It was the hint of a forest, green and brown mixed together to create the towering pines. To the left, the scene emptied into vast whiteness. Brushstrokes stained the blank void, dripping blue as it outlined the sky. The hills began to be painted, mixes of green clashing with each other to create a realistic look and day sky turning into night splashed in place. The artist, skillful and wealthy, stepped back with unclean brush and colorful palette in hand to look on at his now finished and quickly drying masterpiece.
