A
new painting was hanging in the Hemlock Mills Art Gallery. Throughout 
the day, visitors stood
before the new exhibit and speculated as to what it represented.
“I think
it’s a terrifying monster,” said Misty.
“There’s no name on it, but I’m sure it
was drawn by a famous artist.”
“I would
say that it’s a picture of a park as seen from an
airplane,” mused James. “I see many trees and
roads.”
Miss Culture, the
local art critic for the Hemlock Weekly News, made her pronouncement.
“This is clearly a masterpiece created by an artist who
wishes to be anonymous at this stage of his or her career. The
brilliant strokes of color symbolize a person who is looking back at an
exciting lifetime of accomplishments!”
At that moment,
Mr. Lightman, the gallery curator, entered the room.
“Isn’t it great?” he asked with a big
smile on his face. “My
three year old did that this morning. He says it’s a maze. I
think it’s amazing!”
