I said, “I’m thinking of buying some new painting knives.”
She said, “How much do they cost?”
I said, “Some Amazon store has a Liquitex set for eighteen dollars.”
She said, “That’s not very expensive. Why don’t you just buy them?”
I said, “When you add on shipping it’s like, you know, one third of a tank of gas. I think it’s more sensible to save the money for gas.”
She said, “That’s probably true.”
For a moment neither of us said anything.
Then she said, “It’s the twenty-first century. Does the word ‘sensible’ have any application to the context of painting?”
I didn’t say anything.
She said, “If you bought the knives and could paint anything at all, what would you paint?”
I said, “I’d still like to do a portrait of that girl I saw yawning.”
She said, “If you painted something you didn’t have to ask to pose for you, what would you paint?”
I said, “I’d like to take a trip to Los Angeles. Do a landscape of that bridge Tony Scott jumped off of.”
She said, “Do you see my point?”
I smiled, but tucked down the corners of my mouth. But she saw me smile.
I reached over and clicked on the PROCEED TO CHECKOUT button.
She smiled, and didn’t even bother to tuck down the corners of her mouth.
