Paint

Here are 100 words and two on ‘Paint’:

The theme was to ‘paint something(s) always in place, visible sometimes, sometimes not.’

Now, to pick a winner. Yes, the envelopes.

The first envelope was opened. It said: ‘Obscuring object(s) may not be man-made.’

Curtained-window, 40-footer-blocking-house, Masked-face…had to go.

The second envelope qualified: ’Obscured object(s) may not be man-made.’

Airplane-behind-clouds, House-behind-large-palm-frond…bowed out.

The third envelope declared: ‘The obscured object(s) may not be visible at high noon.’

Mist-shrouding-mountain-peak was kept aside.

The winner was…

A painting showing a farmer and his little son in a corn field under a blazing sun. A small bubble carried the son’s query: ‘Dad, where did the stars go?’
