Discovered When You See This: Painting

[merentha13]

The old man still sat with his easel outside his caravan. He’d been here all week, working on a seascape. The wind ruffled his gray curls as he sat and painted. He seemed so alone. No one had visited since he had arrived. He’d been kind to us children, so I waved and walked over

That was lovely, thank you, and I hope your week is over and the weekend is a whole lot better for you.

Thanks! Yes, I'm heading home after a week of listening to clients tell me all about how badly we performed on their last project... All the positive responses here are helping immensely!

This was beautiful and poignant. I don't often do tears but I had a good sob reading this.

Sorry to have made you cry, and thank you for your kind words.

I know. I don't usually leave the lads unhappy but this one wouldn't let me go any other way. Thanks for your comments and good wishes!

Hey!

That is beautifully written, such an impact for so few words. Poor Doyle, or lucky Doyle(?) - his life partner always with him, even in death?

Like Doyle said in one episode, they're Never far apart
Thanks for the kind words.

It's short, sad and sweet *sigh*
