Here he was with his nose stuck in a book at six o’clock in the evening, under a bare bulb in the back room of the Oxford. He hadn’t meant this thing to devour his every waking moment. . . .

It was all the robes and undergarments that had him out on a limb. Now that he had eyes to see, there seemed to be a thousand folds needing light and shadow. All along, he’d been painting the clothing without light and shadow, knowing that something was wrong, but what?

Blast. What if he packed up the whole business and stored it in the attic until another time? But he knew the answer to that—there would never be another time.

Possibly all that was needed was a kind of smudge that followed the line of a fold—something darker than the garment, yet something simple.

With the book open beside him on the worktable, he mixed a daub of paint and, without thinking, put it on his thumb and worked the color along the left side of the fold of the angel’s robe, then retraced the line with his forefinger and gently smoothed away some of the color.

Ahhhh . . .

There!

Thank you, Lord. . . .

Done.
