THE PAINTING

            They had asked me to paint them something. Something abnormal, something that everyone will remember. I had never been asked to paint something for a museum before, and could not mess this up. If all went well my painting could turn into a monument for all to see.  I kept thinking for hours and hours what to paint.  All of a sudden an idea struck my head.  I could paint five boats in a rain forest.  This painting can represent the impacts of over-fishing and marine pollution on the future of our planet and ecosystem.  A perfect display for our polluted world.
